Denmark is set to suspend all current offshore wind tenders after the no-subsidy framework was deemed unsustainable under today's market conditions. The global offshore wind sector has faced significant challenges, including rising costs, increased interest rates, and supply chain bottlenecks. A recent tender in December failed to attract any bids, prompting the government to reassess its approach.

In 2024, Germany added 742 MW of offshore wind capacity, with 73 new turbines connecting to the grid. By the end of the year, 66 foundations had been installed, and 81 turbines were erected but not yet operational. This brought the total to 1,639 turbines with a combined capacity of 9.2 GW. Due to delays in grid expansion, Germany's offshore wind target of 30 GW is now expected to be reached in 2031, while the 40 GW target for 2035 will likely be achieved a year earlier.
