Abstract The spatial allocation of wind energy produces tradeoffs between the minimization of electricity generation costs and of negative effects on humans living in direct vicinity to wind turbines (residential costs). Using a spatially explicit modelling approach, this paper analyzes these trade-offs for Germany. Results show that trade-offs are significant in a comparison between a generation cost minimal allocation and a residential cost minimal allocation. The socially optimal allocation of wind turbines, that minimizes both types of monetary costs simultaneously, is close the one that minimized residential costs. Furthermore, the resulting regional allocation pattern for wind turbines differs to a large extent between the generation cost minimal and the residential cost minimal allocation, stressing the spatial impact associated with the preference for either one of the allocation criteria.
