Germany’s Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has published the second amendment to the 2025 Site Development Plan (FEP) for offshore wind. The changes include revised capacity densities, new site configurations and changes to the timing of selected sites in the German North Sea. In area N-10, the planned capacity densities have been reduced and a previously planned 2 GW site has been divided into two smaller sites. The total area has also been expanded from 195 km² to 259 km².

More than 50 companies and organisations working in floating wind have set out an industry action plan aimed at supporting the commercialisation of the technology and developing floating wind in countries with deep coastal waters. The initiative aims to address barriers to floating wind deployment and improve collaboration across the sector. Its action plan focuses on demonstrating the value of floating wind and reducing costs, scaling the supply chain, and improving access to finance and insurance.
