"High implementation rate" of successful tenders for PV facilities

Bundesnetzagentur

The German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has announced that over 90 percent of projects approved for the third round of bidding for ground-based photovoltaic plants have been built. Of the 40 winning tenders, four missed deadlines to file their applications. Jochen Homann, head of the agency, said the “high implementation rate” showed the auction system was working and bidders had put forward realistic prices for the construction and operation of their facilities.
