Conflict between national weather service and wind power operators
German Wind Energy Association
Due to objections by Germany's National Meteorological Service (DWD), 219 wind power turbines with a total capacity of 649 megawatts could not be built in 2015 because of the risk of interference with the weather service’s data collection, says the German Wind Energy Association (BWE) in a press release. The deciding question in many relevant court cases was whether the DWD could reasonably be expected to subtract the wind turbine locations in their calculations and fill the gaps through interpolation, says BWE.
