Hamburg Offshore Wind Conference 2026

From sea to grid: new directions for European offshore wind

Germany’s premier offshore wind gathering, bringing together global industry experts to explore the latest policies, opportunities, and sector challenges.

Conference outline

Join us as we dive into the future of offshore wind development and explore how to maximise efficiency in the German North Sea. From wakes and blockage effects, area sizing and timing to the offtake of the supply chain, we will tackle the critical questions shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape. Together with a panel of industry-leading experts, we will focus on two key areas:

Offshore wind optimisation towards 2030 and beyond

Key enablers to optimize efficiency in the German North Sea – how we can unlock the full potential:

  • Are two-sided CfDs the key to overcoming current challenges?
  • What does the post-subsidy world mean for future auctions and how should new auction areas be shaped (MW/km²)
  • How can we optimise grid costs and connection strategies?
  • Where is the sweet spot for long-term planning and monitoring?
  • Could adjusting targets reduce wake effects and lower LCoE?


The offtake of the supply chain: How to develop green leading markets

The interplay of electricity prices, grid costs, industrial tariffs, capacity markets, green electrons and the balance of supply and demand:

  • Where do off-takers expect energy demand beyond 2030?
  • What barriers are slowing industrial electrification?
