The site - in the Bavarian municipality of Dittenheim, about 120km north of Munich - has been part-powered by energy from 12 sqm of solar modules installed more than a year ago. The two companies have since added a wind turbine, capable of providing up to five kilowatts of additional power, as a second renewable energy power source.
Wind power is a major source of electricity in Germany and the Energiewende (German for 'energy turnaround') that has phased out nuclear power in 2023. Domestic generation is about 60% renewable, half of that coming from wind.
As part of measures to increase wind power installations and usage, the Scholz cabinet adopted a law requiring Germany to set aside 2% of its total land area by 2032 for wind energy use. The 2010 "Energiewende" policy has been embraced by the German federal government and has resulted in a huge expansion of renewables, particularly wind power.
