Germany has issued permits so far for 25 wind farms in its offshore seas, with nearly 1,800 wind turbines to be erected on stone foundations in shallow waters.
The data was released in Hamburg by Christian Dahmke of the Federal Agency for Marine Transport and Hydrography BSH, which approves the plans after checking that the wind turbines will not obstruct shipping.
The first wind farm, code-named Alpha Ventus, is already being built. Of the permits, 22 wind power plants are for the North Sea and three for the Baltic. Dahmke said a total of 55 wind energy applications had been filed by electricity companies and investors.
German Transport Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee forecast that the ultimate number of approvals would be 40 wind farms, which he said would create 30,000 new jobs in the region.
