  • “German Chapter OffshoreWind4Kids”: German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, Competence Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, DNV and Northland Power Europe agree on cooperation with OffshoreWind4Kids

    On March 23, 2022, William Beuckelaers, managing director of OffshoreWind4Kids, DNV, Northland Power Europe (NPE), the Competence Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CC4E) at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) and the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation signed an agreement in Hamburg on a cooperation with OffshoreWind4Kids within the framework of “German Chapter for OffshoreWind4Kids”.

    The focus of the cooperation will be on activities to promote interest in technical issues of offshore wind energy among children and young people.

    OffshoreWind4Kids teaches children and young people about engineering, technologies and renewable energies in a playful way using miniature offshore wind turbines. With the help of construction kit systems developed by William Beuckelaers of "OffshoreWind4Kids", children and young people – boys and girls alike – can be enthused about technical issues and any inhibition thresholds can be reduced. The “OffshoreWind4Kids” initiative was first brought to Germany by DNV and has subsequently found further supporters here.

  • 21.01.2021 - Fact Sheet Status of Offshore Wind Energy Development in Germany in 2020

    At the end of 2020, 1,501 offshore wind turbines with a capacity of 7,770 MW were feeding into the German electricity grid. The current expansion stage was completed with the commissioning of 32 offshore wind turbines with a capacity of 219 MW. In addition, power upgrades were completed on a number of existing turbines. Since there are no offshore wind projects in construction, no capacity additions are expected for the upcoming year 2021. By 2025, it is projected that offwhore wind energy projects will reach a cumulative capacity of 10,8 GW.

  • 20.02.2020 - Global Offshore Wind Report

    The annual Global Offshore Wind Report, published by the World Forum Offshore Wind (WFO), provides an overview of global offshore wind development. Among other important developments, 2019 was the first-ever year to see the addition of over 5 Gigawatt of offshore capacity.

  • 28/11/2019 - WindEurope: Boosting offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea

    The study 'Boosting offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea' by WindEurope shows potential for offshore wind expansion in the Baltic Sea. According to the study, offshore wind turbines with a total capacity of 85 gigawatts could be installed in the Baltic Sea region by 2050. This would be a considerable contribution to the decarbonisation target of the European Union. In order to make the expansion possible, the authors of the study recommend rapid and comprehensive political measures on the part of the countries bordering the Baltic Sea.

  • Factsheet: National Test Field Offshore Wind Energy

    Within the framework of the project, the current testing and demonstration needs in the industry are to be determined first. The next step is to identify the rights and obligations of the individual participants. A further challenge is the selection of an operator or an operator consortium for the later operation of the test field. As in the alpha ventus test field, accompanying research will also take place in the new test field in cooperation with industry and research institutions.
