Germany’s offshore wind energy supply chain is currently under significant pressure, according to European wind energy trade body WindEurope, with a lack of auctions and underwhelming future prospects threatening a once-leading industry.
Offshore wind turbine manufacturer MHI Vestas announced Monday that it had completed the installation of 44 of its 8.4 megawatt (MW) wind turbines at the 370 MW Norther Offshore Wind Farm in record time.
German energy company E.ON and Norwegian oil, gas, and wind company Equinor have announced this week that their 385 megawatt (MW) Arkona offshore wind farm has generated its first electricity into the German electricity grid.
