Pfullendorf takes off: Four new wind turbines approved for Denkingen!
A wind farm project near Denkingen near Pfullendorf has received the green light from the Federal Network Agency. As the Swabian newspaper reports, ABO Energy Windpark Pfullendorf-Denkingen GmbH & Co. KG will build four wind turbines in the Pfullendorf district. Construction is scheduled to begin in the coming months after approval for construction was granted in 2023. At the beginning of the year, the district office also agreed to enlarge the wind turbines, which makes the project even more attractive.
In the context of wind power in Germany, the tender for onshore wind energy was a real hit. A total of 3,443 megawatts were tendered nationwide, which means an oversubscription of around 44 percent. This makes it clear how in demand the expansion of renewable energies is, especially in federal states such as Baden-Württemberg, where only 18 new wind turbines were added last year.
Legal basis and funding
What exactly goes on behind the scenes of the tenders? According to information from the Federal Network Agency The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) regulates the legal basis for these tenders. The maximum value will be 7.35 cents per kilowatt hour in 2025. Systems that are put into operation after January 1, 2017 with an installed capacity of over 1,001 kilowatts will be funded through these tenders. A particular focus is on pilot wind turbines, which can be funded without a tender, which represents an additional incentive for innovative projects.
Sustainable development is supported by special regulations in the Building Code (BauGB) and the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). These laws aim to ensure environmental and species protection while promoting the construction and operation of wind turbines.
Regional acceptance and citizen participation
An important topic in the discussion about wind energy is regional acceptance. The German wind industry emphasizes that citizen participation is of great importance. Information sessions and public hearings provide a platform for residents to voice their opinions and concerns. In this way, social acceptance for the new wind farms is strengthened and the feeling of participation is promoted.
Another aspect is the security of the systems. There are clear safety standards that require regular maintenance and inspection. Dismantling obligations must also be taken into account; These stipulate that the dismantling of the facilities must take place within two years of the end of operations, including the recultivation of the areas.
