German federal grid agency BNetzA set an elevated cap price of €63/MWh ($74.6/MWh), as it used a special rule to bolster bidding in next year's 2.8GW of onshore wind tenders – and revealed that average winning bids in the country's last two auctions undershot the cost of production.

BNetzA calculates the current production price for onshore wind in Germany at €56/MWh ($66.25/MWh).
