Pro Windkraft Neckar-Alb

About

Founded in 2024, Pro Windkraft Neckar-Alb is a ngo headquartered in Tübingen, Germany specializing in Wind.

Pro Windkraft Neckar-Alb is a grassroots citizens' initiative established in April 2024 in response to coordinated opposition to wind energy expansion in the Neckar-Alb region (comprising Reutlingen, Tübingen, and Zollernalbkreis districts). The initiative mobilizes public support for regional renewable energy development through petitions, educational campaigns, and advocacy. It collected over 5,000 signatures on a petition supporting the regional plan to designate 1.8% of land for wind power. The initiative promotes citizen-friendly wind park development models, such as the Münsingen model, which offers local residents discounted electricity rates and financial participation opportunities. It also advocates for nature conservation alongside renewable expansion, promoting the National Species Protection Program to fund environmental mitigation measures. The initiative conducts fact-checking activities against wind energy misinformation and organizes community events, including a world record attempt for the largest human wind turbine formation in June 2025.
