The Fraunhofer IEE Wind Energy Report Germany describes the development of wind energy in Germany based on numerous stats and figures. Additionally, the report provides insights into the present situation of wind energy use worldwide and gives relevant background information to the latest issues in the wind energy sector. Topics covered include:

  • Wind in the renewable energy mix
  • Situation in Germany
  • Growth of wind energy worldwide
  • Grid integration
  • Wind energy feed-in 2012
  • Grid operation and grid expansion
  • Onshore
  • Technical developments
  • Wind conditions
  • Operating results Legal and financial boundary conditions
  • Offshore
  • The expansion of offshore wind energy
  • Technical developments
  • Wind conditions
  • Operating results
  • Legal and financial boundary conditions

In special reports Fraunhofer IEE scientists and guest authors elaborate on trends and main research activities. Special reports are part of the Wind Energy Report Germany since 2011. In recent years these special reports have been published:
