Market Overview

The Germany offshore wind energy market is the sector that deals with the international industry engaged in the construction, development, operation, and maintenance of wind farms in bodies of water, usually the ocean or major lakes, in which wind turbines are employed to produce electricity. The usage of offshore wind power is to provide large-scale, sustainable electricity to energize systems, especially in regions with scarce land availability. Furthermore, a very strong expansion in Germany and other nations surrounding the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. At the end of 2022, over 1,500 turbines with a total capacity of about 8 gigawatts (GW) were installed in German waters. This is due to the turbines' dependable operation and quick cost decline, the initial projects that no longer required state funding were announced in 2017 by investors, sparking hopes that the technology can emerge as a mainstay of the nation's energy transformation. Moreover, Germany has ambitious plans to significantly expand its offshore wind power capacity.
