Land development plans: What to consider?

Land development plans (LEP) are important control instruments for state planning in all federal states. They determine how spatial planning for areas such as settlement, infrastructure, economy, environment and energy supply should develop in the long term. The specific design and implementation of the LEP is the responsibility of the individual federal states and is further specified and spatially allocated in regional plans for individual sub-areas of the federal states.

GLÖZ II backdrop

‍ According to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), funding for solar parks is excluded if they are built on drained peatland (see Section 37 EEG paragraph 1 no. 2). Funding can only be possible in certain exceptional cases, for example if the bog area is rewetted with the construction of the solar systems (see Section 37 (1) No. 2 letter e).

GridConnect: First projects successfully delivered!

On 20.11.2024, the new position paper of the Federal Network Agency was published, which introduces a revised calculation basis for BKZ. While grid connections are becoming massively more expensive in some cases, the controversial BKZ requirement for battery storage remains in place.

Top Business Model 2025

We are delighted to receive the Top Business Model 2025 award in pv magazine Germany. The start-up dvlp has set out to simplify and speed up the work of developers. In addition, the platform displays many parameters in a WebGIS tool, which are also difficult to access, which make it possible to better assess the feasibility of a project earlier.

Affordable network connection through cable pooling

On January 31, 2025, a new EEG regulation was adopted in the Bundestag, which regulates the development of network connection points (NVP) (so-called cable pooling). The new Section 8a EEG 2023 generally allows plant operators to select an NVP that has already been used.

Construction ban in flooded areas — but finding this is not always easy

The tidal wave of floods in Central and Eastern Europe is reaching Germany these days. So that developers of energy projects can assess the risks of potential flooding at an early stage, they should check flood areas and flood hazard maps.

Planning energy projects without knowledge of the network infrastructure? dvlp.energy provides a remedy

The German medium-voltage grid (10-30kV) stretches over 530,000 kilometers and plays a decisive role in the expansion of ground-mounted photovoltaic and storage systems, as it is usually the most cost-effective grid connection option. Despite this central importance, geodata on network infrastructure in Germany is largely unavailable.

A step ahead by considering network expansion

Developers of wind, solar and storage projects often have difficulty finding an available grid connection point (NAP). The reason for this is often locally congested network sections. Remote NAPs can significantly increase project costs and lead to inefficiency. In this context, it is important to consider future network expansion from the start of both project development.

Digitized spatial planning for Germany

Construction management procedures must be carried out for most ground-mounted solar systems in accordance with §29 BauGB. It checks whether a building project meets the goals of regional planning. That is the reason why the stipulations in regional plans must be observed when planning solar ground-mounted systems. It is a challenge for project developers to comply with these regional plans, as there are 120 planning regions across Germany.

Regional cost differences amounting to millions due to BKZ

What parallels are there between the work of project developers and the small German statehood of the 17th century? Anyone interested in old maps knows that Germany consisted of more than 300 kingdoms back then. Although there was no electricity back then, today's power grid is similarly subdivided, because according to the market master data register, there are 892 electricity grid operators. Unfortunately, this is not so nice for developers of (renewable) energy projects.

Use instead of reconciliation

In 2023, around 8 TWh of electricity in Germany were cut off due to network bottlenecks as part of redispatch measures and therefore not used. This is roughly equivalent to Berlin's annual electricity consumption. The “use instead of settlement” regulation is intended to counteract this wasted potential from October 1, 2024.
