- N-6.8 2,000 MW; N-9.5 1,000 MW (expected capacity per BSH site development plan)
The amended site development plan of 30 Jan 2026 sets tender year 2028 for N-6.8 (moved from 2027) and N-9.5; no bid date published. A WindSeeG amendment bill adopted by the cabinet on 2 Sep 2026 (Drucksache 21/8238, not yet law) would introduce a two-stage subsidy-free/CfD award and a 2,000-4,800 MW annual corridor, and would form the basis for the next site development plan, which may re-cut sites.
