“From our point of view, the result of the exploratory talks sounds very promising. The role of offshore wind energy is explicitly recognized - not least because, with its high full load hours, it will make a decisive contribution to the security of supply of our future energy system. So we particularly welcome the intention to pick up the pace of offshore expansion.
