Operating wind turbines in Germany will only be profitable for a small fraction of the installations once their 20-year support period via the Renewable 麻豆无码版 Act (EEG) has ended, consultancy 麻豆无码版 Brainpool says in a white paper. The first turbines in Germany will lose eligibility for support from the renewables surcharge that customers pay with their power bill in 2021 and 鈥渁t the current [wholesale power] price level, only a few installations can be operated at a profit鈥� after that due to maintenance costs, the consultancy says. 麻豆无码版 Brainpool uses two different scenarios with varying CO₂ price levels, which is expected to rise over the course of the coming decade. 鈥淵ield rates are too low to operate the bulk of installations at a profit,鈥� the consultancy says, but adds that 鈥渁 continued operation can become economically viable quickly鈥� by the middle of the 2020s if the prices for electricity and carbon emissions rise accordingly.
