The tariff for offshore wind energy is presently set at 8.92 euro cent (initial tariff), with the basic tariff at 6.07 euro cent, for a period of 20 years.

It required about 25 years of development to build commercial wind turbines of the size of Growian.

Future development
In Germany most of the easy exploitable on-shore wind potential is developed. Repowering (modernisation) of existing wind farms presents a big potential (trippling energy yield with less turbines) Future Development will exploit the large off.shore potential in the north of Germany

The on-shore potential in Germany is highly developed and potentiel sites are rare. One development will be the output increase of existing sites. The other will be the development of off shore potential.

The vast majority of the wind power development is based on the grid connection. The German national grid and the interconnected European grid is very stable and can compensate the very irregular supply by the wind power plants. However with increasing wind power capacity it is more and more a technical issue to handle the fluctuations and it is required to install expensive additional pump storage capacity.

Political requirement:
Policy must give a clear direction if it comes to the proper use of resources.
To make all decisions and economic calculations on the day to day costs of resources does not reflect the real value of the resources. It lead to a irresponsible exploitation of resources on the costs of the coming generations
36
Remark: The wind potential in equatorial areas like Indonesdia is smaller than in Europe. Still there is a large unexploited future potential
