Germany's most recent onshore wind tender awarded 650 MW out of 208 MW at an average price of €62 ($69)/MWh, according to the country's grid regulator, BNetz. Although it gave no reasons for the lack of demand, BNetz had previously cited difficulties in securing state government construction permits. Recent figures from the national energy and water industries body revealed 3.23 billion kWh of wind output was lost in Q1 2019 because of grid constraints.
