German government approves changes to offshore wind tender rules
- Details
- Category: Industry News
The German government has approved a draft amendment to the Offshore Wind Energy Act (WindSeeG). The changes include new rules for offshore wind tenders and measures affecting project development. Under the proposed system, tenders for offshore wind areas will continue to start with a dynamic bidding process without an upper limit on the bid price. If no project is awarded through this process, a Contract for Difference (CfD) auction will follow. The Bundesverband Windenergie Offshore (BWO) has criticised this two-stage approach and is calling for a CfD-only system.
