Shre of Repowering Cpcity from Annul Cpcity Addition [%] Dismntling nd Cpcity Addition in the Frmework of Repowering Projects [MW] Yer DISMANTLING AND REPOWERING In ccordnce with the lst REL (Renewble Energy Lw or EEG) mendment tht cme into force on 1 st August, centrl turbine register ws estblished. The register is designed to cpture dditions to wind energy, s well s repowering nd dismntling, in detil. Opertors re obligted to provide relevnt reports. Strting in August, this resulted in the vilbility of relible nd comprehensive dt for repowering nd dismntling for the first time. The repowering turbines, s well s dismntled WTG s, cptured by the turbine register between August nd December were synchronized with this sttistic nd complemented by dditionl dt collected specificlly between Jnury nd July. In summry, for the entire yer the dt vilbility for repowering nd dismntling hs improved, however, the ctul repowering nd dismntling numbers ssumedly re still higher thn the collected dt. Dismntling Over the course of, t lest 544 WTG s with cpcity of 364.35 MW were dismntled. The verge cpcity of dismntled WTG ws bout 67 kw. It is possible to derive the net dded cpcity from the nnul gross ddition nd the dismntling of WTG s. For, the net cpcity is 4 385.91 MW. It should be noted gin tht n underestimtion of the dismntling numbers leds to n overestimtion of the net cpcity ddition.
