- Land prices for wind turbine installations have significantly increased, with rents now exceeding 400,000 euros per year per site.
- A decade ago, rents of 100,000 euros were exceptional, but current rates are much higher and include both private and public lessors.
- Wind park operators benefit from a guaranteed EEG payment that covers the gap between electricity sales revenues and fixed subsidies.
- Higher land rents lead to increased bids in EEG tenders, which in turn raise the overall costs of wind energy support and electricity prices.
In the peak, leases would amount to over €400,000 per year per installation.— Dirk Briese, managing director of Windresearch, told Handelsblatt.
President Donald Trump directed the U.S. government to pay billions to stop wind energy projects from going forward. In response, states have sued. 👉 Here’s where Trump has canceled wind farms – and how states are pushing back

- Germany expects a threefold increase in wind energy capacity additions in 2026 compared to 2025, marking recovery from the 2017 slump.
- The Wind Energy Association warns that recent proposals from the Ministry of Economics threaten project profitability and sector growth.
- New Contracts for Difference rules with narrow revenue bands and lack of extra tenders could deter investments and cost jobs.
- Although federal states demand more tenders, the draft Renewable Energy Act lacks implementation, causing uncertainty in the industry.
The EEG would jeopardize the economic viability, and the grid package would wipe out expansion areas.— Bärbel Heidebroek, President of the German Wind Energy Association (BWE), in the ntv podcast Das Klima-Labor

- Jörg Müller established his first wind turbine in 1992, championing renewable energy's future ever since.
- A hybrid power plant combining wind, solar, storage, and hydrogen ensures continuous electricity for customers in Uckermark.
- Solar cell efficiency has doubled, positioning solar energy to eventually surpass wind as a primary source.
- By 2031, Germany plans to fully meet electricity demand with 8–10 GW of wind and 15 GW of solar added annually.
Those are the two arguments for renewable energy: they are cheaper than anything we've done so far — and we have no alternatives.— Jörg Müller, Enertrag CEO, in ntv's Climate Lab interview

- U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris ruled that the order issued in August was unconstitutional.
- BOEM had halted Revolution Wind since August over unspecified national-security concerns; about 70 percent of turbines had been installed.
- An earlier preliminary injunction put delay costs at $2.3 million daily and found more than 1,000 union jobs threatened.
- The partners aim to resume construction immediately, but the Interior Department and BOEM may appeal Saris’ ruling.
Given that the Wind Order constitutes a change of course from decades of agencies’ issuing (or denying) permits related to wind energy projects, the Agency Defendants were required, at minimum, to “provide a reasoned explanation for the change” and to “display awareness that [they were] changing position.”— U.S. District Judge Patti B.
