Siemens Gamesa offshore chief flags German FID gap hitting factories
A shortage of final investment decisions in the German zone is squeezing utilisation at Siemens Gamesa's offshore wind turbine plants.

Siemens Gamesa's offshore chief has flagged that factory utilisation is being squeezed by a lack of final investment decisions in the German zone, according to Recharge News. The statement points to a concrete manufacturing bottleneck: without FIDs, component lines run below capacity, raising unit costs and complicating delivery schedules for projects elsewhere in the European pipeline.
The German offshore sector has faced permitting and grid connection delays that have slowed developers from committing capital. Siemens Gamesa's comments suggest those upstream delays are now transmitting directly into its production facilities, a signal that yards and supply chains are absorbing the policy drag rather than insulating from it.
Separately, Vattenfall unveiled plans for two onshore wind farms in East Anglia, England, totalling 425 MW. The Chatteris and Redmere projects add to a growing UK onshore pipeline but sit at an early stage, per Renews.biz.
