Skyborn Germany

MÄRKTE

Skyborn Renewables offshore solutions GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyborn Renewables (Skyborn). With more than 20 years’ experience and a track record of more than 7 GW built, approved or under procurement around the globe to date, Skyborn is one of the most successful offshore project developers in the world.

Skyborn Renewables offshore is based in Hamburg, Bremen, Rostock and Leer, and was established in 2000 with the aim of developing, building and operating offshore wind power in Germany and contributing to the country's goal of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Emissions must be reduced by 65% by 2030 compared with 1990.

For achieving this ambitious target, the share of renewable energies in the electricity supply needs to almost double by 2030 and continue to increase thereafter. Offshore wind energy is a key element in achieving this goal. To this end, Germany's expansion paths and tender volumes are being massively increased. The expansion target for offshore wind energy will rise to at least 30 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. By 2035 at least 40 GW, and by 2045 at least 70 GW of installed capacity are to be achieved.

Projects

Germany is where our company was founded and remains one of our key markets. We've successfully showcased our expertise and capabilities across various development processes. Our current portfolio includes Nordergründe (111 MW), while the other German projects currently in operation were sold prior to construction. With Gennaker (>976.5 MW), we are advancing our blueprint project set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea once completed.
