Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, has approved legislative amendments that will allow the construction of a test facility housing 10-12 next-generation wind turbines in the Baltic Sea by 2023.
“It is about time to develop a new generation of more powerful machines, ten years after the first offshore wind farms were built following the introduction of the Renewable Energies Act (EEG),” said Christian Pegel, the energy minister of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state, which has lobbied for a test field off its coast.
