Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has allocated 2,328 MW of PV capacity in the country’s latest tender for utility-scale solar energy.
It divided the capacity among 226 bids. The new allocations exceed the capacity that the Bundesnetzagentur initially wanted to distribute. The tender was oversubscribed, with 634 project proposals for a total amount of 5.23 GW.
The average price came to €0.0500 ($0.0593)/kWh, with final prices ranging from €0.0440/kWh to €0.0530/kWh.
From a regional perspective, the largest allocated volume was realized in Bavaria (901 MW), followed by Saxony-Anhalt (282 MW) and Brandenburg (215 MW).
