Strategy of the German Government on the use of off-shore wind energy

The project on renewable energies and efficient use of energy in fuel cells that forms part of the national sustainability strategy envisions to reduce the dependency on energy imports and to further improve the environmental compatibility of power generation, particularly with a view to climate change. Energy supply should be restructured and put on a sustainable foundation. Guaranteeing a reliable energy supply, profitability for both suppliers and consumers, and the protection of the environment and resources should all be treated with the same priority. To this end, the expansion of the renew-able energies sector (supply side) shall be optimally combined with measures to in-crease energy efficiency (user side). The sub-project on off-shore wind farms therefore aims at creating the necessary preconditions on the supply side that will allow for a rapid construction of offshore wind farms.
