A call for political consistency and investment
02.02.2024
BERLIN, HAMBURG, BREMEN, ROSTOCK. According to an analysis conducted by the Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, which was published in December, the construction of new offshore wind farms could require up to 200 hectares of additional heavy-load-approved space at German seaports up through 2029 and billions in investment over the coming years. “As it can take up to seven years to build a new heavy-load-approved space along with the quay system, we’re at risk of running out of time,” warned Karina Würtz, the foundation’s managing director. And Jens Assheuer, Chairman of the WAB Board, added, “The German port locations from Lower Saxony and Bremerhaven to Schleswig-Holstein offer outstanding conditions for covering the wide range of requirements of offshore wind energy and would benefit from the offshore boom. In recent years, we’ve squandered plenty of regional added value and an impressive starting point in international competition as a result of political decisions. We now need political consistency and investment.”
