Germany ’s EnBW is open to working with additional partners , as it continues its expansion into the US offshore wind industry , according to CEO Frank Schmidt . “At the moment, it is very difficult to develop new offshore wind parks in our home market Germany as well as in the remaining parts of Europe. The utility has an existing joint venture with project developer Trident Winds focused on the country ’s west coast . It set up an east coast subsidiary in Q4 2018 , but has been working alone . The US is one of the offshore wind sector ’s growth markets , with an increasing number of capacity auctions . Schmidt believes opportunities are limited in Germany and Europe , and wants to continue growing the business in foreign markets .
