Germany-based Bard Engineering GmbH maintains an exclusive focus on the develop- ment of offshore wind farms. The company in 2008 produced turbines with a total capacity of 80 MW. Since 2007, Bard Engineering has its rotor blade pro- duction and gondola assembly located in Emden, . Since 2008, the company also produc- es foundation structures for offshore turbines in a second production site in Cuxhaven. According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), new installations in the range of 30.3 GW can be expected worldwide until the end of 2009. If the prediction turns out to be correct, a total of about 152 GW would be installed at the end of the year. Stefan Hausmann
