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.
