German industry is pushing Berlin to move faster on offshore wind. Unions and trade associations issued a joint call on 19 June for new offshore auction rounds, per Renews.biz. The call signals that the current auction calendar is seen as insufficient to sustain supply-chain momentum and meet installed-capacity targets.
On the construction side, RWE confirmed completion of the cable campaign for Nordseecluster A on 18 June, clearing a key installation milestone for the North Sea project. Separately, RWE inaugurated three wind farms in France on the same date, expanding its operational fleet in the French bidding zone.
In the UK, Bute Energy banked £160m to finance a Welsh wind farm, per Renews.biz (18 Jun). UK and Norwegian trade groups also signed an offshore wind cooperation pact on 19 June, covering supply-chain and technology alignment between the two markets.
