ABO Energy adjusts project valuations amid changing auction conditions in Germany
- Category: Company News
Germany’s recent acceleration in renewable energy deployment has led to increased competition in onshore wind auctions. Government targets, including the aim of installing several turbines each day, have been supported by simplified and faster approval procedures. As a result, feed-in tariff auctions for 2025 have been heavily oversubscribed. In the August round, project submissions reached 5.7 GW against a tender volume of 3.5 GW, leaving many projects without an award.

Danish Energy Agency opens tenders for new offshore wind areas
- Category: Industry News
The Danish Energy Agency has launched tenders for three offshore wind areas with a combined minimum capacity of 2.8 GW. These are North Sea Mid, Hesselø in the Kattegat and North Sea South. Developers will bid under a two-sided capability-based contract for difference, which guarantees a fixed electricity price and limits risk from low market prices. The model allows the state to reclaim income when prices exceed the strike price. It has been introduced following market concerns about exposure to price volatility.
