The Bundesnetzagentur published the results of the renewable energy auctions closed on 1 February 2026, revealing strong oversubscription in onshore wind and weaker participation in rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV).
In the onshore wind auction, 924 bids were submitted for a total of 7,858 MW, more than double the 3,445 MW tendered. A total of 439 projects were awarded, covering the full auctioned capacity.
Awarded prices ranged between €0.0519/kWh and €0.0564/kWh (approximately USD 0.056–0.061/kWh). The weighted average price dropped significantly to €0.0554/kWh (around USD 0.060/kWh), compared to €0.0606/kWh in the previous round. This marks the lowest level since 2018, driven by increased competition and efficiency improvements in wind power projects.
At the regional level, Lower Saxony accounted for the highest awarded volume with 957 MW, followed by North Rhine-Westphalia with 661 MW, Saxony-Anhalt with 438 MW and Brandenburg with 396 MW. In contrast, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg represented just 2% of the total, reflecting persistent imbalances in wind energy development across the country.
In the segment of solar energy on buildings and noise barriers, the auction recorded lower participation. Out of 283 MW tendered, bids were submitted for 177 MW. After exclusions, 85 projects totalling 155 MW were awarded, meaning all valid offers were accepted.
Prices ranged between €0.0788/kWh and €0.10/kWh (approximately USD 0.085–0.108/kWh). The weighted average stood at €0.0956/kWh (around USD 0.103/kWh), slightly below the previous round (€0.0966/kWh). Despite lower competition, prices remained stable within the distributed generation segment.
Most solar awards were concentrated in North Rhine-Westphalia (50 MW), followed by Lower Saxony (17 MW) and Brandenburg (17 MW).
The next auction rounds will take place on 1 May 2026 for onshore wind and 1 June 2026 for rooftop solar PV, in line with Germany’s strategy to ensure sustained expansion of renewable energy.
