Wissenschaftliche Analysen zu ausgewählten Aspekten der Statistik erneuerbarer Energien und zur Unterstützung der Arbeitsgruppe Erneuerbare Energien-Statistik (AGEE-Stat) Fachbericht Onshore- und Offshore-Windenergie

Summary

This German report analyzes the challenges in accurately tracking onshore and offshore wind energy statistics amidst changing regulatory frameworks, particularly regarding the decommissioning of older turbines and electricity generation without Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) remuneration. The study provides scientific analysis to support the working group on renewable energy statistics, identifying gaps in data collection for non-EEG-remunerated electricity and noting that the previous onshore expansion path could not be met. It highlights that most older wind turbines continue operation after 20 years under power purchase agreements, and offshore expansion is constrained by available grid connections.
