Wind turbine proximity and health-related quality of life in Germany 2002 to 2022
Abstract The expansion of wind energy has intensified debate about potential impacts on the health and wellbeing of nearby residents, yet empirical evidence remains mixed. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) linked to administrative records on onshore wind turbines, we analyse changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with turbine construction in Germany between 2002 and 2022. We implement a quasi-experimental matched difference-in-differences design among residential non-movers, focusing on turbines with hub height ≥ 50 m and proximity bands from 1.5 km to 6 km. We find no evidence of adverse average HRQoL changes associated with turbine presence within 6 km in this setting for matched residential non-movers over the observed pre-post interval. Secondary analyses indicate heterogeneity by turbine characteristics and cumulative exposure, including patterns consistent with lower mental HRQoL where turbine density is higher. These results are interpreted cautiously, given multiple related specifications and limitations in assessing pre-trends with biennial HRQoL measurement. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of cumulative exposure and turbine characteristics for assessing the local health implications of wind energy deployment.
