Abstract: With the progression of the climate crisis, countries aim to achieve energy transitions by increasing their renewable energy shares. Onshore wind power plays a central role in facilitating this transition, especially in Germany, one of the pioneers of transitioning the electricity sector. Achieving transition targets and securing the supply are inextricably linked to the availability of land for and installation of renewable energy infrastructure. Challenges have increased to create space for wind power in Germany, i.e., allocate land for wind turbines.
