CPV Code 314, Wind Turbines
What does CPV code 314 cover?
CPV code 314 (Wind turbines) classifies tenders related to wind energy in public procurement. This includes the procurement and installation of onshore and offshore wind turbines, small wind turbines for municipal sites, components such as rotor blades, nacelles and towers, as well as maintenance, operation and repowering of existing installations.
Wind energy is the backbone of the German energy transition. With over 30,000 onshore turbines and an installed capacity of approximately 60 GW, Germany is one of the world's leading wind energy markets. The public sector plays an important role, both as a direct client for municipal wind farms and as the licensing and planning authority.
The role of the public sector
In the wind energy sector, the public sector tenders various services:
- Municipal wind farms: Some municipalities and utilities operate their own wind farms, tendering planning, construction and operation
- Repowering: Older turbines are replaced by more powerful new ones, a growing market
- Maintenance: Long-term maintenance contracts for existing municipal wind turbines
- Land leasing: Municipalities lease land for wind farms, legally classified as concessions
- Studies and planning: Wind assessments, environmental impact assessments, permitting planning
Market dynamics
The wind energy market is influenced by several factors including new legislation requiring 2% of land area for wind energy by 2032, accelerated permitting processes, a repowering wave as thousands of turbines from the 2000s reach end of life, and Germany's target of 30 GW offshore capacity by 2030.
