13 new turbines: Saxony remains a latecomer in wind power

In Saxony, 13 new wind turbines were connected to the grid last year. In a year in which the nationwide expansion of wind power reached almost record levels, the Free State remains among the laggards in terms of expansion, according to the German Wind Energy Association. Only in Saarland were fewer wind turbines built. Saxony contributed a good 64.8 megawatts and thus 1.2 percent of the newly installed capacity nationwide. According to the figures, the frontrunners are North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
