Why Germany?
Germany has the largest onshore wind fleet in continental Europe (~62 GW, ~28,500 turbines). With approximately 6,500 turbines reaching end-of-EEG-funding between 2025 and 2027, the repowering market is the largest in Europe in the next decade.
Key context for international readers:
- BImSchG — the German Federal Immission Control Act, the primary permitting framework for wind turbines > 50 m total height
- EEG 2024 — the Renewable Energy Sources Act with auction-based feed-in remuneration, ceiling 7.35 ct/kWh
- WaLG (Wind on Land Act) — requires federal states to designate 2.2% of land area for wind by 2032
- § 45b BNatSchG — standardized taboo radii for 15 collision-prone bird species, simplified species protection assessment since 2022
Common questions from international readers
What's the typical investment cost for a German wind project?
2026 reference value 1,200–1,700 EUR/kW for onshore turnkey installation. Repowering at existing sites typically 5–10% cheaper than greenfield.
How long does German permitting take?
Simplified BImSchG procedure (§ 19, for 1–19 turbines): 4–8 months. Formal procedure (§ 10, 20+ turbines or near protected areas): 18–30 months. Critical path is usually the bird/bat survey (one full season minimum).
What's the LCOE for onshore wind in Germany?
Coastal top sites: 40–55 EUR/MWh. Standard northern German sites: 55–70 EUR/MWh. Southern Germany / Mittelgebirge: 65–95 EUR/MWh (low-wind turbines required).
