On 30 March, Associate Director Dominik Huebler will participate in the German language webcast session “German Offshore Wind Tenders in an International Context: What Conclusions Can Be Drawn?” hosted by the Federal Association of Wind Farm Operators Offshore (BWO). Mr. Huebler will join Stefan Thimm, CEO of the Offshore Wind Industry Association.

Offshore wind auctions are building momentum in Germany, with several gigawatts of capacity being offered to bidders this year and next. Some aspects of the auction rules, including potentially uncapped lease fees payable to the government and the need to possibly react to developments in four parallel auctions, are concerns for investors. Mr. Huebler will review the German tenders from an international perspective and comment on possible implications of the EU discussions about the future energy market design for bidding strategy.
