Two studies confirm the benefits generated from the Offshore Bremerhaven Terminal
Günthner: "they demonstrate that for the industrial and harbour Bremerhaven the construction of the offshore terminal is of fundamental importance"
July 3, 2015
"We are without if and but for the Offshore Bremerhaven Terminal, the more important project than investment in marine field that will be realized in the next few years in the State of Bremen". The senator to the Economy, job and port of Bremen, Martin Günthner has asserted yesterday, introducing the studies of the German institutes Prognos and Planco that confirm the benefits generated from new terminal OTB, that it will be the greatest European harbour terminal dedicated to the field of wind energy.
The new terminal will per year have an ability to handling until 160 wind turbines. Günthner has evidenced as the studies specify that in the period the 2021-2025 potential market previewed for terminal OTB is, in the base scene, pairs to 150 wind turbines per year, while the more optimistic scene is than 125 turbines in period 2012-2022 and of 190 turbines in period 2023-2025. The realistic scene is of 100-140 wind turbines per year.
According to Planco, in the 2023 cost of the electricity produced from the wind systems offshore it will be able to compete with that producing from other sources, while until that date the segment of offshore wind energy will cross a phase of limited increase. The study finds moreover that the development of this type of electric power supply closely is connected with the control of the costs for its production and this involves that the ports, that they are to the center of the activity of production of offshore wind energy, must be adapted to the requirements of the market. From this point of view the position of Bremerhaven is optimal in order to accommodate centers of production of wind systems offshore.
"The new studies - it has evidenced the senator - demonstrate that for the industrial and harbour Bremerhaven the construction of the offshore terminal is of fundamental importance. Our message at the market - it has concluded Günthner - is clear: the OTB is and there will be".
