“My sincere thanks go to the current board and the outgoing board members Ina Kamps (BP) and Catrin Jung (Vattenfall) for the outstanding cooperation! Together we have succeeded in significantly developing the association over the past two years. The opening of the association to all members of the offshore wind value chain is a milestone for the BWO. I am pleased that the new board covers the entire breadth of the value chain and thus represents the industry credibly. During the term of office of the new board, the focus will initially be on the 2025 federal election," says Stefan Thimm, Managing Director of the BWO.
