In the time period exmined, lnd-bsed wind turbine genertors (WTG) with totl cpcity of MW were erected. At lest 413 repowering turbines with cpcity of MW re included in the gross ddition. Furthermore, 544 dismntled WTG s with cpcity of MW were identified. An overview of the development in nd the instlled totl cpcity is presented in Tble 1. As of 31 st December, totl of WTG s with totl cpcity of MW Tble 1: Sttus of Lnd-Bsed Wind Energy Development in were instlled.

As result, Repowering shre (non-binding) the totl portfolio runs the Dismntling in first Hlf of (nonbinding) risk of being overestimted. The corresponding section Cumultive WTG portfolio dels with this topic in more Sttus: 3 June detil. The development of nnul dditions to wind energy cpcity nd the cumultive cpcity over time is depicted in Figure 1. Compred to the previous record yer of 22 (with 3 24 MW), bout 47 % more cpcity ws dded in.

3 Shre of Repowering Cpcity from Annul Cpcity Addition [%] Dismntling nd Cpcity Addition in the Frmework of Repowering Projects [MW] Yer DISMANTLING AND REPOWERING In ccordnce with the lst REL (Renewble Energy Lw or EEG) mendment tht cme into force on 1 st August, centrl turbine register ws estblished. The register is designed to cpture dditions to wind energy, s well s repowering nd dismntling, in detil. Opertors re obligted to provide relevnt reports. Strting in August, this resulted in the vilbility of relible nd comprehensive dt for repowering nd dismntling for the first time. The repowering turbines, s well s dismntled WTG s, cptured by the turbine register between August nd December were synchronized with this sttistic nd complemented by dditionl dt collected specificlly between Jnury nd July. In summry, for the entire yer the dt vilbility for repowering nd dismntling hs improved, however, the ctul repowering nd dismntling numbers ssumedly re still higher thn the collected dt. Dismntling Over the course of, t lest 544 WTG s with cpcity of MW were dismntled. The verge cpcity of dismntled WTG ws bout 67 kw. It is possible to derive the net dded cpcity from the nnul gross ddition nd the dismntling of WTG s. For, the net cpcity is MW. It should be noted gin tht n underestimtion of the dismntling numbers leds to n overestimtion of the net cpcity ddition. Repowering In the frmework of the sttisticl dt collection for the yer, 413 of the totl newly erected WTG s hve been identified s repowering turbines (mening those WTG s for which t lest one old WTG locted in the sme or neighboring county/district hd been dismntled).

4 Averge Cpcity [kw] Yer AVERAGE TURBINE CONFIGURATION This section discusses the verge turbine configurtion of lnd-bsed WTG s. The results re shown in Tble 2. In on verge, the turbine cpcity of newly erected WTG s in Germny ws 2 69 kw (in 213 the verge ws kw). The verge rotor dimeter ws 99 meters, four meter lrger thn the verge in 213 (95 meters). The verge hub height ws 116 meters, one meter below the verge of 213 (117 meters). Regionl differences regrding the verge turbine configurtion re discussed in more detil in the following section ( Regionl Distribution of Wind Energy Development ).

5 Yer REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT The regionl distribution of wind energy development in cross the individul Germn sttes is exmined below. The results re shown in Tble 3. In, WTG s were erected in ll 16 sttes. Schleswig-Holstein received more thn qurter of the overll cpcity of 4 75 MW instlled in Germny. In the Germny-wide comprison, Lower Sxony cme in second plce with bout 627 MW of newly instlled cpcity. With 498 MW, Brndenburg reched the third plce. More thn hlf (51 %) of the totl new instlltions took plce in the three sttes nmed bove. The southern Germn sttes of Rhinelnd-Pltinte nd Bvri cme in fourth nd fifth plce with cpcities of 463 nd 41 MW of newly instlled cpcity. Another northern Germn territoril stte, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerni, took sixth plce with 373 MW. North Rhine- Westphli, locted in centrl Germny, took seventh plce with 37 MW, followed by Sxony- Anhlt with 291 MW in eighth plce. 215 MW were instlled in Hesse (ninth plce) nd 148 MW in Thuringi (tenth plce). In ech of the remining sttes less thn 1 MW were instlled.

The lowest nd highest verge turbine cpcities of 2 2 kw nd 3 1 kw were instlled in the city-sttes of Hmburg nd Bremen. In reference to the territoril sttes, Bden- Wurttemberg instlled WTG s with the lowest overll cpcity (2 331 kw) nd Schleswig-Holstein instlled those with the highest overll cpcity (2 864 kw). The verge rotor dimeters lie between 82 nd 11 meters. As expected, the lrgest dimeters cn be found in the south. The verge hub height in ll Germn sttes, with the exception of Schleswig-Holstein (with 88 m), ws t lest 11 nd up to 138 meters. The dt since the end of 212 were determined by inquiries with industry stkeholders s well s other reserch. Bsis of dt : DEWI 4

It should be noted gin, tht the cumultive vlues my devite from the ctul turbine portfolio. Tble 4: Cumultive Cpcity nd Number of Turbines in the Germn Sttes, Sttus: 31 st December Region / Stte Cumultive Cpcity Sttus: 31 st December [MW] Among ll Germn sttes, Lower Pomerni Sxony leds the list of Bremen cumultive wind energy instlled Hmburg with MW of instlled Brndenburg Sxony-Anhlt cpcity. Agin in second plce North Rhine-Westphli ws Brndenburg with Thuringi MW. Schleswig-Holstein Hesse cme in third with cumultive Sxony cpcity of 5 9 MW. Berlin % of the totl cpcity Rhinelnd-Pltinte instlled is merged in the Bvri northern sttes, which slightly Bden-Württemberg incresed their importnce Srlnd compred to the previous yers. The shre of the centrl Totl Germn sttes decresed to bout 44 % of the cumultive cpcity nd thus ly below the sttus t the end of 213. The southern Germn sttes combined 13 % of the instlled cpcity nd North Centrl South hence continued the 1% progressive upwrd trend of 9% the lst severl yers.
