“The results of the tender for wind and solar energy show the well-known picture of a slowdown in the energy transition,” said Julia Verlinden, a spokeswoman for energy policy at the Alliance 90/The Greens parliamentary group. “The PV tenders for photovoltaics are regularly oversubscribed. In the past two years, more photovoltaics could have been awarded for almost every tender.”
The next tech-specific tender of the year for onshore wind farms and PV systems is Sept. 1. Innovation tenders will be held for the first time on this date.
