The BSH revealed particulars of the three sites within the nation’s federal legislation gazette this week.
BSH president Karin Kammann-Klippstein mentioned the three sites could assist Germany meet its “ambitious expansion goals for offshore wind energy”. Germany’s new coalition authorities just lately boosted the nation’s offshore wind targets to 30GW by 2030 and 70GW by 2045.
Germany’s federal community company (Bundesnetzagentur) requires sites’ suitability to be decided earlier than auctioning wind farms. The BSH needed to think about safety of the marine setting, particularly marine mammals and seabirds, and delivery pursuits when approving the sites.
