Germany’s Federal Network Agency has launched a new round of offshore wind farm auctions. A hefty 5,500 MW are up for grabs at three pre-investigated sites in the breezy North Sea, 110 km northwest of the island of Borkum.

RWE, a major player in the global renewable energy sector, has been selected by HessenForst to develop a state-of-the-art wind farm in the Hessian forest.

The European Union has made notable progress in renewable energy, surpassing its previous accomplishments in wind farm installations. But how did it capture a record-breaking 17 GW of new wind energy in 2023, and what does this mean for its renewable energy goals?

The wind energy industry in Germany embodies a blend of technological innovation, environmental commitment, and economic development. This article will highlight its significant milestones and challenges and delve into how government incentives and public support are positively shaping its landscape.

An event to redefine the landscape of renewable energy? That remains to be seen. What is certain is that Germany’s wind industry has taken a giant leap forward, as a record-breaking auction win blows fresh life into the sector.

Germany is one of the world's top wind energy players. Nevertheless, the construction of new wind turbines has been stagnating for some time and the global positioning of the German wind industry is faltering. The so-called "Easter Package" is intended to change that.

Representing an important milestone in the energy transition, the 623 km NordLink submarine cable recently went into operation to transport green electricity from Germany to Norway and back.
