Bavaria has dragged its feet in deploying the wind power essential to Germany's climate transition. Since January, the region has installed only five wind turbines and approved two wind farm projects. In Schnabelwaid, a village in northern Bavaria with about 900 inhabitants, the planned wind farm project was adopted in April. The first blades of a dozen wind turbines, each with a total height close to 200 meters, "could turn in autumn 2026," according to Maximilian Weiss.
