German grid agency BNetzA in April will cut onshore wind feed-in tariffs (FITs) under the country’s soon-to-be-discontinued support scheme, with new installations on course for a record near-5GW by the end of 2017.

Support for projects still receiving a FIT will fall by 2.4% in April after additions in the 12 months through to the end of October 2017 of 5.5GW
