As the article stresses since 2017 and for two reasons (different from what is discussed in this thread):
- Switching to an auction model in 2017 to drive prices down, which was implemented very poorly.
- Strongly incentivizing small "citizen" project to increase acceptance in the population. Which messed up larger scale deployments and lead to awful bureaucracy.
- logifail 7y ago> Strongly incentivizing small "citizen" project [...] Doesn't Germany have restrictive distance regulations between wind turbines and residential areas?
- moepstar 7y agoYep, that exactly is the problem. Due to distance regulations between residential areas, existing turbines etc etc (and basically each viable spot already taken / in use, besides offshore) the numbers built are shrinking - unless some kind of change regarding the laws are done...
