Wind Power Surges in Germany: Ambitious Targets and Ongoing Challenges Germany, a leader in the European energy transition, is seeing a significant surge in wind energy projects, both onshore and offshore. This expansion is driven by ambitious national goals for renewable energy and a desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. However, several challenges remain, such as permitting hurdles and grid limitations. Onshore Wind Rebounds: After a period of stagnation, onshore wind installations are picking up pace again. 1. 6 GW of new capacity was added in the first half of 2023, and additional tenders promise further growth. The government aims to install 10 GW of onshore wind annually from 2025 onwards, aiming for a total capacity of 115 GW by 2030. Offshore Wind Pushes Boundaries: Germany boasts a rapidly growing offshore wind sector, currently holding second place globally in installed capacity. Ambitious expansion plans target 30 GW by 2030 and 70 GW by 20...
