Germany has proposed progression plans for offshore wind turbine sites, with a target of 30 GW of installed power capacity by 2030, the Economy Ministry said on Friday, according to Reuters.

The plan of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) calls for even more wind capacity, with an area sufficient for 40 GW or even 50 GW until 2035, the main points of the plan have not yet been shared.

“The BSH plan, along with our November 2022 offshore agreement (with states and power grid operators), is a detail of our master plan to achieve major renewable energy expansion targets,” Economy Minister Robert Habeck said.

The plans are ambitious and constitute a quadrupling of Germany’s existing wind capacity, which is 8 GW.

In October, a German wind farm was dismantled to make way for an open-pit lignite mine in Garzweiler, operated through RWE. RWE saw three of its lignite-fired coal sets with a capacity of 300 MW each ignited in October. after putting it on standthrough.

The Ministry of Economy and Energy of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia suggested that RWE abandon its plan to decommission the wind farm and argued that “in the current situation, any prospect of using renewable energy would be exhausted as far as possible. “Possible and existing wind turbines will have to run for as long as possible.
