energy supplIers. There is a colourful array of planners and investors in
the offshore wind energy industry. Many engineering firms with experience in
onshore wind power have designed and planned offshore wind farms, guiding
these projects through the approval process. Some firms build farms themselves,
while others team up with strong financial partners to see through a project‘s
implementation. But the cost of a project, which can exceed one billion euros, is
often too high for small and medium-sized firms, many of which end up selling
their plans to major european energy suppliers, including german companies like
RWe, e.On, enBW from South-germany or large municipal utilities. They have been
joined by independent power companies, investment companies like Blackstone,
and the Masdar initiative of abu Dhabi. all in all, this makes for a sound mixture
of financing.
