The results are in – and they’re alarming: Germany’s August auction for centrally pre-investigated offshore wind sites has failed. Not a single bid was submitted for the two available areas (N-10.1 and N-10.2) totaling 2.5 GW. This is a serious warning signal.

What went wrong? What needs to change?

Dr. Matthias Janssen from Frontier Economics will share his perspective on the reasons behind the failed auction and discuss possible ways forward.

Together, we will explore:

• Why no bids were submitted
• What this means for investor confidence and project pipelines
• Which auction design reforms could restore momentum

Moderated by BWO Managing Director Stefan Thimm, this session will offer sharp analysis and practical takeaways for policymakers and industry stakeholders alike.
