New wind energy projects in Germany “have fallen to a new, all-time low” !

... according to 
online IWR reports:

Installation of thousands 
of megawatts of German 
wind power capacity 
has led to: 
power grid instability,

much higher 
electricity prices, 

destruction of natural 
landscapes, and 

noise complaints.


Wind projects protests
rose to the point where the 
government was forced to 
scale back on subsidies 
two years ago. 

Investments in 
new wind farms, 
have since collapsed.

The IWR writes:
"The negative trend in the 
construction of new wind 
turbines in Germany, 
which has persisted 
for more than a year, i
s thus intensifying.” 

“A short- or medium-term 
change is not to be expected."



The near halt in new 
German wind energy 
projects will cause 
a huge problem in
meeting the country’s 
commitment to transition 
over to green energies 
by 2050. 

Experts believe Germany 
will fail to meet its interim
2020 commitments.



Major decisions
on green energy 
programs and 
investments 
are expected 
to be announced 
by the country’s 
“climate cabinet” 
tomorrow 
(September 20).

Details on 
wind energy
expansion plans 
are not clear.
