In 2024, Germany produced a whopping 20.8 terawatt hours of wind turbine electricity in the North Sea. This is an increase of eight percent compared to the previous year. This corresponds to the electricity consumption of approximately 6.5 million people. households, which is more than the total population of Denmark. This is what the German Spiegel writes.
- Not the installed capacity, but the actual energy yield should be the goal, in order to keep costs as low as possible, says procurement manager Tim Meyerjürgens, who is CEO of TenneT Germany.
He emphasizes that better utilization of the areas in the North Sea can lead to major savings that can amount to double-digit billions.
However, some environmental organizations warn that Closer development can harm ecosystems, partly as a consequence of wind shadowing. Wind shadowing occurs when wind turbines are placed so close that they affect each other's efficiency, which is mentioned as a potential challenge in planning.
