Bundesnetzagentur announces successful bids in first auction for offshore wind farms

Jochen Homann: "Average award price of 0.44 ct/kWh far below expectations"

The Bundesnetzagentur has today announced the results of the first auction for grid connections and funding for existing offshore wind farm projects.

"The average weighted award price of 0.44 cents per kilowatt hour is far below expectations. This shows the auction has unlocked medium and long-term cost reduction potential, which will lead to a reduction in funding to an extent that had not been expected," said Jochen Homann, Bundesnetzagentur President, commenting on the outcome of the auction.

"Offshore wind energy is categorically proving its competitiveness. This is good news for all electricity consumers who contribute to funding renewable energy through the renewable energy surcharge," stated Mr Homann. "It remains to be seen, however, whether the prices in the next auction will be as low."

Auction results

Four bids were able to be accepted, taking account of the total volume up for auction of 1,550 megawatts (MW) and the possible grid connections. The four successful bids are all for projects in the North Sea and amount to 1,490 MW and thus nearly the total volume that was available for auction.

The average award price was 0.44 cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh). The lowest price bid was 0.00 ct/kWh, and the highest price accepted was 6.00 ct/kWh.
