German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) opened tenders for three new offshore wind sites on 26 February. Two of the sites are located in the North Sea and one is situated in the German part of the Baltic Sea.

The tenders are open until 1 September, with the maximum value of bids limited to 7.3 eurocents per kWh. The bidder(s) with the lowest funding requirement for a wind farm will receive a contract, according to the authority’s website. For two of the three areas, however, there are legal entry rights of the companies that originally planned offshore wind farms there.
