In the run-up to the tender, the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) had reduced the tender volume from 3,192 megawatts (MW) to 1,667MW, and the maximum value for the bidding period was set at € 0.0735/kWh[1].
Together with our customers, we examined the current conditions and carried out a market and competition assessment. "We know from our current German projects that the grid connection, i.e. the delivery times for medium-voltage substations and transformer stations, are the bottleneck," says Ubbo de Witt, managing partner of Projekt GmbH. "We anticipated that while many projects are ready for construction, they cannot provide sufficient capacity for the bidding process even with the reduced bidding volume because they would not be able to meet the implementation deadlines under Section 36e EEG 2023.“
In the district of Cuxhaven, three of six AN BONUS 1MW turbines (total height 100m) will initially be dismantled for the first construction phase at the Neuenkirchen wind farm. NeuenkirchenWind GmbH & Co. KG will erect a NORDEX N133/4800 with a rated power of 4.8MW and a hub height 84.4m. In the district of Wesermarsch, four Vestas V66/1650 with 1.65MW installed capacity each and four Vestas V80/2000 with 2 MW, total height 100m, will initially be dismantled at the Oldenbroker Feld wind farm. In the first construction phase, WPO Windpark Oldenbroker Feld GmbH & Co. Betriebs-KG will erect 3 Vestas EnVentus V150 turbines, each with an installed capacity of 5.6MW and a hub height of 127m.
