Minister-President Olaf Lies in Cuxhaven

27.03.2026

CUXHAVEN. At the construction site of berths 5 to 7 in the port of Cuxhaven, Minister-President Olaf Lies, together with representatives from business, politics, and port operations, gathered information about the progress of the port expansion and the role of the location in the energy transition. The host of the on-site meeting was NiedersachsenPorts.

The discussion focused on the development of port infrastructure, the economic momentum of the offshore wind industry, and the strategic importance of Cuxhaven for energy and industrial policy.

Minister-President Olaf Lies emphasized the strategic importance of Cuxhaven for Lower Saxony and Germany. The energy transition is not only a climate policy project, but equally an industrial policy project. This requires a clear course and reliable framework conditions. “Investments on this scale require trust,” said Lies.

The Hafenwirtschaftsgemeinschaft Cuxhaven sees the location as a central building block of Germany’s energy transition. Last year, more than 5,275 wind energy components were handled via the port operations in Cuxhaven.
