Far-right AfD win in Saxony-Anhalt threatens regional wind development, BWE warns
The success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Saxony-Anhalt's regional election could jeopardise wind power development in the eastern German state, according to a warning from national wind energy association the BWE, as reported by Windpower Monthly on 8 September. Parties pledging to roll back the energy transition also performed strongly, Recharge News reported separately. For operators with assets or pipeline projects in Saxony-Anhalt, the political shift introduces permitting and policy continuity risk at the Länder level. The BWE has called for wind development to continue regardless of the election outcome.
