How do the decreased EEG subsidies in Baden-Württemberg compare to other states, and what is the effect on wind energy expansion plans?

The increase in wind turbine construction in Baden-Württemberg, while positive, still falls short of the required 3,000 turbines by 2040 to meet renewable energy targets. The 102 megawatts added in 2024 represent only a fraction of the over 600 megawatts needed annually to achieve this goal. This shortfall is further highlighted by a decrease in EEG subsidies for wind turbines compared to the previous year, placing Baden-Württemberg behind other states in terms of renewable energy expansion.

How do geopolitical concerns and local opposition influence the timeline and scope of the offshore wind farm project?

After revisions and resubmission of the Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA) to the Ministry of Environment and Energy (YPEΝ), the program approval is now stalled at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs due to potential geopolitical implications with Turkey. The selected areas, approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Hellenic National Defence General Staff (GEΕTHA), are within six nautical miles, addressing national security concerns and resulting in the exclusion of half the initial planned areas.
