  • 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.

  • 30.06.2019 - Fact-Sheet Status Offshore Wind Energy Germany

    In the first half of 2019, 42 offshore wind turbine generators (OWT) with a total installed capacity of 252 MW fed into the grid for the first time in Germany. The total resulting 1,351 operational OWT have a cumulative installed capacity of 6,658 MW as of June 30, 2019.

  • 21.01.2019 - Fact-Sheet Status Offshore Wind Energy Germany Full Year 2018

    According to the latest figures published by Deutsche WindGuard, 1,305 offshore wind turbines with a total output of 6,382 MW (megawatts) fed into the grid in 2018. In this period, 136 new turbines with an output of 969 MW were connected to the grid. This confirms the forecast made last year by the industry associations. In addition, 276 MW were fully installed but have not yet fed into the grid. Furthermore, a capacity of 966 MW is currently under construction. The final investment decision has been made for another 112 MW. The legally permitted expansion of 7.7 GW (gigawatts) by 2020 will therefore probably be achieved as planned.
