The offshore wind market - Germany

Offshore wind power is a form of wind energy that is generated in coastal waters. Offshore wind turbines are generally larger and more powerful than onshore wind turbines, as they benefit from the stronger winds in the North and Baltic Seas.

Offshore wind turbines consist of a tower, a nacelle, a nacelle and rotor blades. The tower is the supporting pillar of the turbine and can be up to 100 meters high. The nacelle contains the generators that convert the wind into electricity. The nacelle is the platform on which the nacelle and rotor blades are mounted. The rotor blades are the wings of the turbine and are up to 100 meters long.

Offshore wind turbines have a number of advantages over onshore wind turbines. They can produce more electricity as they benefit from the stronger winds in the North and Baltic Seas. They are also less disruptive to the environment as they are further away from the coast.

German market

Germany is one of the world's leading markets for offshore wind power.
In recent years, the expansion of offshore wind power in Germany has grown strongly.
This is due to a number of factors, including the political framework, technological advances and the falling cost of offshore wind turbines.

Offshore wind energy could cover a significant proportion of Europe's energy needs. According to a 2017 study, it is possible that up to 80 percent of the energy required could be generated by wind turbines off the coasts of Europe by 2030.[orsted]
