Germany is pursuing ambitious goals regarding the further development of wind energy use. The German Federal Government considers the expansion of renewable energy use as a central element of its climate conservation and energy policies. In the coalition agreement from 2005, the German Government decided to concentrate on the following topics regarding wind power: renewing old installations (repowering), offshore wind power generation, and the task of improving the conditions for wind power.
