Abstract

By the end of 2025, the feed-in tariff funding of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) expires for around 13,400 wind turbines 15.85 GW) in Germany. As a result; operators are increasingly facing the decision whether to further extend the lifetime of old turbines or to repower and replace them with new and more efficient ones [1]. Restrictive minimum distance regulations to residential buildings impede repowering in Germany This is particularly true for smaller turbines built closer to settlements in the early 2000s. Governments justify stricter distance regulations with presumably increasing acceptance [2], whereas studies show that such a connection cannot be confirmed [3]. We present a geographic information system (GIS) that permits systematically evaluating whether the location of a wind turbine complies with the current distance regulations for new turbines.
