We fear these proposals will create structural distortions in<br \/>Germany\u0092s wind industry, an internationally successful model. Changing to a tendering design that<br \/>determines remuneration rates by means of a competitive scheme already poses a challenge in itself<br \/>and this will be compounded by further uncertainties.<\/p>\n<p><b>A restrictive quantity control that is barely calculable would be at the expense of Germany as an<br \/>industrial location<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Without being able to draw on any relevant experience with tendering, the expansion of wind energy in future is supposed to be controlled in a fragmented way. We anticipate that the proposed formula for the quantity control of wind energy would lead to heavily fluctuating volumes for tendering at a low level. In real terms, this would hinder investment decisions to a significant extent. Only an adequate and continuous expansion volume will secure investment ininnovative technologies and manufacturing processes and thereby bring about sustainable cost reductions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Restrictions in the domestic market cannot be compensated for in other regions in the short term. As a result of declining expansion, supply chains downstream would see lasting changes so<br \/>that value creation would no longer take place in Germany in certain areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>A stable, annual net tendering volume of 2,500 MW for onshore wind energy<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To ensure that the industrial basis built up over the past 25 years is safeguarded throughout<br \/>the upcoming transition to competitive tendering, it is essential to implement a guaranteed<br \/>annual net quantity of around 2,500 MW of onshore wind energy capacity, which was set out<br \/>as an expansion corridor in the 2014 Renewable Energy Act following lengthy debate. A<br \/>reduction in onshore wind energy compared to the 2014 Renewable Energy Act would strike<br \/>an enormous blow to a growing industry that now employs more than 130,000 workers and<br \/>has a turnover volume of around EUR 12 billion in the onshore wind sector alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Tendering of at least 900 MW annually for offshore wind farms<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For offshore wind energy, stable value?creation components can firmly establish themselves<br \/>in Germany by means of additional production locations in Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven and<br \/>Rostock, for instance, alongside the supply industry in North Rhine?Westphalia, Bavaria and<br \/>Baden?Wurttemberg. In particular, this would advance the rapid industrialisation of<br \/>processes.<\/li>\n<li>The prerequisite for this growth is the continuous expansion of offshore wind energy even<br \/>after 2020. To achieve this, offshore wind energy projects with an annual capacity of at least<br \/>900 MW need to be realised. Offshore projects have a long implementation period. Vague<br \/>future prospects are already endangering medium?sized businesses and are drivers of shorttime<br \/>employment and job cuts as a result of fluctuating and declining industrial expansion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Accelerated grid expansion is essential<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planning for the future and making appropriate investments in grid infrastructure years ago<br \/>might have prevented the bottlenecks we are experiencing now. That is why it is more<br \/>important than ever to force the pace of system optimisation and grid expansion at sea and<br \/>on land and make this the most important project of the energy turnaround. Improved<br \/>networking with neighbouring countries and measures to accelerate grid expansion with<br \/>innovative grid technologies will eliminate bottlenecks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We cannot estimate today how the expansion corridors planned now can be realised by means of<br \/>tendering. That is why it makes sense to undertake an analysis of the situation until 2020 and take<br \/>into consideration the 2050 Climate Protection Plan and initial experiences with sector interlinking to<br \/>gain a sound understanding of electricity demand in all three energy areas of electricity, heating and<br \/>mobility. Until then, the danger must clearly be avoided of seriously weakening the onshore and<br \/>offshore wind industry, which currently employs some 150,000 people altogether and is a significant<br \/>and entrenched part of Germany\u0092s mechanical and plant engineering industrial sector.<br \/>\n<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"648\" width=\"730\"
