Industry groups hopeful after 2024 record year for onshore wind power in Germany
The past year was “a record year” for onshore wind power in Germany, said the German Wind Energy Association (BWE) and engineering federation VDMA Power Systems in a statement accompanying the publication of annual figures. A total of 2,405 new turbines, with a combined capacity of more than 14 gigawatts (GW), were licensed in 2024, showed the industry groups’ figures. Another 1,890 turbines, with a capacity of nearly 11 GW, were awarded in auctions. “Both are never-seen-before figures and will lead to a significant increase in expansion over the coming years,” the industry groups said.
