AquaVentus statement on the draft area development plan dated 07.06.2024

With the publication of the draft of the next area development plan (FEP), AquaVentus recognizes a further step towards achieving the expansion targets for offshore electricity set by the German government. We expressly welcome this.

In addition, we see areas available for the designation of other energy generation areas, especially in areas further from the coast, up to the so-called duckbill. This will make it possible to expand German hydrogen production at sea to 10 GW of electrolysis capacity and up to 1 million tons of green hydrogen. We also welcome the fact that the concept of hydrogen transportation by means of a collection pipeline is anchored in the FEP draft.
