Germany Seeks Feedback on Draft Offshore Wind Area Development Plan

Germany

The area development plan serves as a basis for the future expansion of offshore wind energy and the associated grid connections, and is already implementing the increase in expansion targets for offshore wind energy planned by the federal government, BSH said.

With the draft of the area development plan now submitted, areas with a planned output totaling approximately 60 GW are to be defined by the year 2038.

Germany has established an expansion target of at least 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, at least 40 GW by 2035, and at least 70 GW by 2045.
