This article is about the continuous downfall of Germany’s onshore wind energy companies. The wind energy market in Germany is collapsing because the number of installations of onshore wind turbines has reached a 30 year low. Enercon has blamed this collapse of the failed political reforms, but he is planning for 2020 to focus on international markets and try to fix Germany’s falling wind energy market. Also, the climate protection package that was recently passed puts Germany in a deeper hole and creates more, and bigger problems. Because of the tough global competition that Germany is against, it puts them at a lot of pressure. 

The problem that Germany is facing now needs to be fixed quickly or else it will become much worse. They need to start increasing their use of onshore wind turbines to help bring the market back up for them. Especially with the new climate protection package that was passed, Germany needs to switch over to more wind energy or their economy will fall. In the next year, they need to plan a mass installation of wind turbines in order to keep their economy going strong. Although it will cost a lot to make all of these wind turbines, it will make Germany’s wind energy market strong again.
