Florian Würtz, director for offshore wind operations at Northland Power spoke to Recharge on the Canadian utility’s plans to expand its offshore wind business in Europe.

The company believes it could enter a tender for already-licensed offshore wind projects in Germany next year at a competitive price, despite rock-bottom winning bids at recent Dutch and Danish offshore auctions. Würtz also sees considerable opportunities as well as specific challenges as offshore wind increasingly expands into Asia and North America.
