The figures for 2020 represent an increase of 46% compared to 2019.
Around 339MW of the amount comprised repowering projects using 102 turbines.
The VDMA said the 1.4GW figure still falls short of the target set out in the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2021, adopted at the end of 2020, which envisages an expansion target of 71GW of onshore wind energy by 2030, with plans to increase it to 95GW.
VDMA Power Systems managing director Matthias Zelinger said: “While we have taken the first step out of the bottom with market growth in 2020, the ambition and reality gap between the requirements and reality of the addition are too far apart: the long-term outlook based on the EEG is positive, but in the short term there remains a serious discrepancy between the volume of tenders and the approvals.”
