Germany’s latest rooftop solar tender received 125 bids totaling 238 MW, with 108 bids representing 208 MW ultimately awarded contracts.
Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) awarded 208 MW of PV capacity spread across 108 projects in its latest auction for PV systems on buildings and noise barriers.
A total of 125 bids totaling 238 MW were submitted. The agency excluded 17 bids from the award process, although it did not disclose the specific reasons. According to the authority’s website, unsuccessful bidders will be informed directly about the reasons their bids were rejected.
All remaining bids received contracts, although the 296 MW tender volume was once again undersubscribed. Nevertheless, the submitted capacity increased significantly compared with the previous round in February, when bids totaled just 177 MW.
The Bundesnetzagentur said awarded prices ranged from €0.084 ($0.096)/kWh to €0.10/kWh. The volume-weighted average award price stood at €0.0972/kWh, remaining just below the maximum permitted level of €0.10/kWh. It was also higher than in the February tender, when the average award price was €0.0956/kWh.
