Offshore Wind in Europe Key Trends and Statistics 2020 Offshore Wind in Europe Key trends and statistics 2020 Offshore Wind in Europe Key trends and statistics 2020 Published in February 2021 windeurope.org This report summarises construction and financing activity in European offshore wind farms from 1 January to 31 December 2020. WindEurope regularly surveys the industry to determine the level of installations of foundations and turbines, and the subsequent dispatch of first power to the grid. The data includes demonstration sites and factors in decommissioning where it has occurred. Annual installations are expressed in gross figures while cumulative capacity represents net installations per site and country. Rounding of figures is at the discretion of the author.

  • Press Conference Call Speech of Markus Krebber
    Report on the interim report on the first half of 2020 Press conference call Essen, 13 August 2020, 11:30 a.m. CEST Speech by Markus Krebber, CFO of RWE AG Check versus delivery! Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you all to our press conference on the results for the first half of this year. The coronavirus continues to cast a shadow over the global economy. There’s hardly anyone who is not affected by this and the virus will continue to present challenges for all of us. Consequently, RWE continues to put great emphasis on the health of its employees. Our top priority is still to ensure that social distancing and hygiene measures are strictly adhered to. My very special thanks go to our employees, as they are doing a great job under these difficult circumstances. Fortunately, the effects of Corona on our operating business have so far been limited: Some of our construction projects in the field of renewables have been delayed, especially in the USA. By year-end, we will be commissioning wind and solar farms with a total capacity of around 1.3 gigawatts, which is less than we had planned. As a result of the coronavirus, the commissioning of some new assets will be postponed until early next year. 1 Ladies and gentlemen, So far, RWE has weathered these challenging times well. This is reflected by the developments in the first six months and underpinned by the following points: 1. Business performance was good, as RWE posted for the first half adjusted EBITDA of 1.8 billion euros, representing an increase of some 18%.

Ing. Peter Bosse, who then planned and erected one of the first wind power plants in Germany. After establishing the German WindPower company SUEDWIND the name Bosse remained a well known trade mark in mechanical engineering and technical expertise in the wind power technology and in the planning of numerous windparks on behalf of various clients. At the time SUEDWIND went to NORDEX the decision was made to concentrate the collected knowledge in the field of services for WindPower developers and investors. Together with the experienced planner and civil engineer, Dipl. Ing. Harald Bosse, WINDPLAN Bosse started its successful path as Consultant in WindPower Planning and Engineering in 1999. The combination of technical expertise in WindPower mechanical and civil engineering with the knowledge of in national and international project development proved to be the right concept. Well known windturbine producers like NORDEX, GE WindEnergy and REpower were among the clients of WINDPLAN Bosse. A great number of project developments and realizations ranging from single wind power plants to medium sized windparks could be realized. WINDPLAN Bosse is proud to be one of the first consultants to the still young sector of offshore wind energy.
