As part of the reform of the German Renewable Energy Law in 2014 renewable energy capacity will be procured in Germany via auction system from 2017. In order to ease in to the new system Germany introduced pilot version of the auction system for ground-mounted solar PV.

The aim of the pilot auction for ground-mounted PV installations is to achieve the expansion targets for renewables in a cost-efficient manner. The pilot auction has ensured that new ground-mounted PV installations are being built while maintaining a high level of public acceptance and stakeholder diversity. At the same time, experience is being gathered for future auctions for other types of renewable energy.

The Ordice was adopted by the cabinet on 28 January 2015 and published in the Federal Law Gazette on 11 February 2015.

Auction system is open only for the ground-mounted solar PV installations with capacity no larger than 10 MW per project and no smaller than 100 kW.

Three auctions per year are planned between 2015 and 2017 according to the following schedule:

15 April 2015 - 150MW

1 August 2015 - 150MW

1 December 2015 - 200MW

1 April 2016 - 125MW

1 August 2016 - 125MW

1 December 2016 - 150MW

1 April 2017 - 100MW

1 August 2017 - 100MW

1 December 2017 - 100MW

Every auction will have an upper bid price limit which will be set by the value of the feed-in tariff for rooftop systems >40kW and < 1MW.

Bids will be made on project capacity in kW and production in euro cents per kWh.

Bidders must provide a deposit of EUR 4/kW bid. The winning bids must provide a secondary deposit of EUR 50/kW within ten working days of the auction winners announcement.

Projects will be remunerated by kWh fed into the grid according to the bid price and not by capacity. The winning bids may not be traded, although entire projects can be.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran&#039;s parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians&#039; contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
