Solar power projects again secured the entire volume of capacity available in a joint auction for new solar and onshore wind power licenses. Successful bids in the significantly oversubscribed auction ranged from 4.5 to 6.1 cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh), the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) .
Solar power bidders also secured all capacity available in the last joint auction in November 2018. Then, solar power lobby group BSW Solar and wind power lobby group BWE called on the government to end 鈥artificial competition鈥 between the two technologies. 鈥淭he energy transition needs solar and wind power alike鈥 the groups said, arguing that the different sources of renewable energy complimented each other for the benefits of the power system as whole. Following a sharp decline in new onshore wind power installations in Germany last year,聽the sector warns聽that public resistance to new turbines is endangering the supply of renewable energy demanded by industry and national climate targets. Meanwhile,聽Germany鈥檚 struggling solar sector is trying to regain a leading role in the country鈥檚 energy transition.
