Topic: Required support levels to make Europe offshore wind great again - Support level assessment of upcoming European offshore wind auctions

Date: 19 February 2026, 10 am CET

On 26 January, at the North Sea Summit in Hamburg multiple European countries recommitted to deliver 300 GW offshore wind in 2050 and where up to 100 GW of this would be cross-border cooperation projects. The signed agreements signal a continued commitment and ambitions to continue the offshore wind build-out in the North Sea.

However, 2025 saw multiple unsuccessful auctions due to higher costs, prompting the need for financial support through a CfD design as a key lever to de-risk investments, ensuring the success of competitive tenders and mobilizing private capital.

While most mature European offshore wind markets at the North Sea already provide support or are moving towards (re)introducing it, the key question is how large the support allocations must be.

What level of financial support is needed to ensure bankable outcomes in future offshore wind auctions in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands?

Join this 20-minute Wavelength Intelligence Briefing, where Aegir Insights’ Principal – Regional Lead Europe Thomas Hwan Jensen and Head of Client Engagement & Advisory David Vestergaard Thomsen will:

Walk you through the upcoming auctions in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
How site conditions, technology and wake effects influence the support level,
And dive into different support requirement scenarios, depending on desired return levels and power price assumptions.

Whether you are scanning for new opportunities in Europe or you are in the process of preparing a support scheme, this Wavelength will give you a sharp and informed perspective on what is needed to get Europe’s North Sea auction landscape back on track.
