Developing municipal areas for wind power and PV, securing permits and involving municipalities in the energy transition in the long term
Municipal land development for wind power and photovoltaics
We identify suitable sites on municipal territory and examine them according to technical, legal and economic criteria. Municipalities receive a clear assessment of the potential of their land – free of charge and without obligation.
Planning and approval procedures for municipal energy projects
We coordinate all official processes and support BImSchG and regional planning procedures for municipal projects. Municipalities benefit from our network of experts, planners and approval authorities – and thus save valuable time.
Municipal participation models – securing income for your municipality
Municipalities can benefit from wind power and PV projects on their territory in the long term via various models – through lease income, business tax or direct participation in the project company. We advise your municipality on the optimal structures.

Planning, approval and coordination with authorities
We support all planning and approval steps for municipal energy projects – from regional planning to BImSchG approval.
Municipal participation and long-term partnership
We structure municipal participation models and remain your reliable partner even after commissioning.
Frequently asked questions from local authorities about wind power and photovoltaics
Answers to the most important questions about municipal land development, approval procedures and participation models for municipalities.
Which municipal areas are suitable for wind power or photovoltaics?
Municipal open spaces, industrial estates, landfill sites or verges along traffic routes are suitable. We check the potential of your land free of charge and communicate the results transparently – without any obligation for the municipality.
How can our municipality benefit financially from a wind power or PV project?
Municipalities benefit from rental income for municipal land, trade tax if the project company is based in the municipal area, and from direct participation models. We advise on the optimal combination for your municipality.
What do we as a municipality have to do ourselves in the approval process?
The municipality is involved in the BImSchG procedure as a public interest body and must submit comments. We prepare these together with you, attend local council meetings if required and coordinate communication with the authorities.
How long does it take from the initial consultation to the commissioning of a municipal energy project?
Wind power projects typically take 4-7 years due to BImSchG procedures and construction time. PV projects can be realized much faster. We provide your municipality with a realistic timeline right from the start.
Can citizens be involved in the project?
Yes, community energy models make it possible for residents to participate directly and financially in projects on municipal territory. This strengthens acceptance and creates local added value. We can advise your municipality on suitable models.
What happens if a municipal project is not approved?
No risk for the municipality. If a project fails in the approval process, your municipality incurs no costs and no obligations. The land remains freely available – we regulate this clearly in the contract.
Let your community benefit from the energy transition
Whether it’s a municipal area, an initial discussion or a specific project inquiry. ENACOM supports local authorities from the initial idea through to commissioning.
