The German federal network agency BNetzA received no onshore wind bids in the latest joint auction with solar, with the latter technology accounting for all the 201MW awarded.
BNetzA said it received 91 bids totalling just over 518MW, with 43 successful.
Bid prices ranged from €51.8 a megawatt-hour to €54.5/MWh, with the weighted average at €53.3/MWh.
The latest average price is slightly above the €52.3/MWh average for the last technology-specific solar tender in October.
Successful bids were spread over 12 federal states, with almost half (20) in Bavaria totalling more than 91MW.
In a separate auction for biomass, 21 bids totalling 50.4MW were submitted for the 168MW on offer.
BNetzA said the low participation in this round of tenders could be due to the fact that a proposed amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act provides for a significantly higher maximum price for biomass plants from the next round and plant operators are therefore waiting to submit bids.
A total of 19 bids with a combined capacity of 28.3MW were successful, it said.
The next technology-specific tenders for onshore wind and solar are on 1 December.
