Established 2004 Publicly Funded by Schleswig-Holstein Co-Funded by the Business Development Agencies of North Frisia, Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Dithmarschen & Steinburg Headquarters in Husum; North Frisia Since April 2010: windcomm schleswig-holstein e.

SH Germany Regional Bürgerwindparks Definition and Succsess Factors • Germany´s northernmost federal state • First German wind farm installation • North Frisia is called the cradle of wind energy • Long history in onshore wind • More than 2.590 wind turbines to date
Regional Bürgerwindparks Definition and Succsess Factors Bürgerwindparks: • Public wind farms • 100 % owned by local citisens and/or the communities • Established in the 1990s by farmers to finance wind farms • Legal form in Germany: Mostly GmbH & Co KG
Installed Capacity (MW) Number of Wind Turbines (WT) Regional Bürgerwindparks Definition and Succsess Factors Flensburg North Frisia 653 WT 816 MW Schleswig- Flensburg 387 WT 297 MW • Concentration of onshore wind farms on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein • Highest concentration of public wind farms in North Frisia Kiel Plön 43 WT 38 MW Rendsburg- Eckernförde 81 WT 104 MW Dithmarschen 809 WT 612 MW Ostholstein 309 WT 412 MW Neumünster Segeberg 32 WT 38 MW Steinburg 215 WKA 285 MW Lübeck 6 WT 2 MW Pinneberg 11 WT 14 MW Stormarn 41 WT 53 MW Herzogtum Lauenburg 47 WT 47 MW Source: Landwirtschaftskammer Schleswig-Holstein
Region Example: North Frisia Number of wind turbines: 652 Installed capacity: 813 MW Number of wind farms: around 60 Share of public wind farms: about 90 % Regional Bürgerwindparks Definition and Succsess Factors 9
Regional Bürgerwindparks Definition and Succsess Factors Sucsess factors: • High degree of transparency • High experienced banks & tax accountants, project planers Advantages of Bürgerwindparks: • Higher social acceptance • Faster planing process • Increased regional added value
Data from participating wind farms Resulting data for North Frisia Extrapolation for Schleswig-Holstein Data for one year (2007) Installed capacity 564 MW = 84 % 676 MW =100 % 2,423 MW Electricity production 1.29 billion kWh 1.53 billion kWh 6.12 billion kWh Business tax 7.64 million € 9.1 million € 36.4 million € Payments for rents, rights of way etc 3.74 million € 4.45 million € 17.8 million € Accumulated Data Total investment 618 million € 735 million € 2.94 billion € Compensation payments 2.4 million € 3 million € 12 million € The economic power of public wind farms (Study by German WindEnergy Association (2007))
More than 7.000 employees in the wind energy sector in ca. 200 companies in Schleswig-Holstein 13.000 € per MW annual tax revenue for the communities in Schleswig-Holstein Turnover from electrical power generation in 2007: ca. 440 Mio. € Business tax in 2008 in SH: ca. 40 Mio. €; in North Frisia: 9,1 Mio. € = 10 % of the total business tax Investment volume in onshore wind farms in 2006-2008: ca. 500 Mio. € 98 % of Schleswig-Holsteins onshore wind farms were financed by regional banks Regional BürgerwindparksDefinition and Succsess Factors
Conclusion • Advantages of Bürgerwindparks: • Higher social acceptance • Faster planing process • Increased regional added value • Sucsess factors: • High degree of transparency • High experienced actors
