3. Wind energy worldwide:

  • RWE is seeing increasing profits from renewable energy thanks to better wind conditions and new projects.
  • The UK plans to connect 4.5 GW of floating offshore wind to the grid.
  • Various companies and regions around the world are increasingly focusing on expanding offshore wind projects, including auctions and new development projects in the US, Brazil and New Zealand.
  • In Germany, there is low participation in offshore wind tenders, which is seen as a warning signal.

4. Investments and developments:

  • Major investments and financing for wind projects are taking place globally, such as in Estonia, Portugal and the US.
  • Companies such as Siemens Gamesa and Vestas are expanding their wind turbine production and securing new orders.
  • The US government raises $93 million from an offshore wind auction.

5. Challenges and debates:
