The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) is working intensively to achieve the target of 70 gigawatts offshore wind energy by 2045. To this end, the BSH launched mid-December a multi-year measurement campaign with the German Weather Service (DWD) and the contracted company Fugro Norway. The aim is to collect measurements of the wind and sea conditions in an area around 280 kilometers off the German North Sea coast. The gathered meteorological and oceanographic data will provide valuable insights for the investigation and evaluation of future wind farm areas on the outer edge of the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
