The Dena report - a German study on grid integration
The dena report - a German study on grid integration of wind energy - is presented in detail at the international “Conference on the integration of wind energy into the German Electricity Supply” today in Berlin. On this occasion, EWEA, VDMA Power Systems and BWE have released a wind industry briefing analysing the study’s findings and commenting on the issue.
“What is valuable from the European perspective is that in Germany the planned tripling of wind energy to deliver 14 % of the country’s electricity consumption by 2015 is technically feasible and economically very effective”, said Corin Millais, CEO of EWEA. “The reports’ findings are significant for policy makers – can wind power practically deliver an important part of a country’s electricity supply? The answer is yes. It costs little and there are no technical constraints. The opinion that wind energy can’t deliver on a big scale has been blown away”.
