Overview

• Executives say the 2030 target refers to projects being contractually secured for construction and operation rather than all turbines being in service by that date.
• Currently 104 turbines are running on state forest land, with 300 expected to be contractually committed by the first quarter of 2026 and the remaining 200 to follow toward the goal.
• Net profit for 2024/25 climbed from about €20 million to nearly €44 million, supported by higher timber prices and fewer storm and pest losses.
• The board is weighing a larger risk reserve as weather losses increase, with about €160 million saved toward a planned €200 million and one proposal near €340 million, while Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger voiced caution.
• The program is presented as part of Bavaria’s effort to restart onshore wind after earlier stagnation, and reporters note stronger progress here than in other state initiatives that missed benchmarks.
