Much criticism recently hailed in view of the sluggish wind power expansion in Bavaria. But it goes forward. And that in Upper Bavaria and in the forest.
Three. That was the number that Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), who had promised the construction of 1,000 new wind turbines in the Free State, recently got to hear again and again. After all, just three new wind turbine construction projects had been approved in Bavaria in the first half of 2023. Not particularly much in view of the 624 plants, whose building was approved at the same time in the remaining federal territory.
The district administration office Munich improves this balance of the Free State now with the permission of six wind power plants on a strike. The plants with 166 meters hub height and 5.56 MW of achievement are to develop in the south of Munich, of it three in the project Höhenkirchener forest and three further in the Hofoldinger forest.
The immission protection-legal applications for permission had been submitted only at the end of March and/or at the beginning of April. On October 4, Sauerlach's First Mayor Barbara Bogner (Free Voters) and an authorized representative of the Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn municipality accepted the notices of approval for the two projects.
Both projects were initiated by the six municipalities involved and the districts of Ebersberg, Miesbach and Munich, were supported by the municipalities and are to be operated with municipal participation, it was said. The districts had contributed to the planning costs, but outside investors were not involved. Now details are to be worked out for a citizen participation.
The planning for the two wind parks runs already since 2013 and/or 2019. Up to their start-up still some time will pass in view of long delivery times, it is called in a message of the energy agency Ebersberg Munich, which supported the planning. If everything goes according to plan, the wind turbines could probably start turning in the two forest areas from the end of 2025.
