Bremen Environment Senator Joachim Lohse (Green) gave the federal government the right to interfere with the energy revolution. “This is a slap in the face for offshore companies in the northwest. Creating jobs and investments are also endangered as the future of the energy revolution. “

job losses on the North Sea

from the perspective of the Bremen chamber of Commerce would have in the Bundesrat a referral to the mediation committee can still be an opportunity for the northern German economy. IHK managing Matthias Fonger stressed: “Such a crack in the job chain more than two years, as takes him to the Bundestag in buying, small and medium suppliers could in particular bring significant in distress and along the German North Sea coast lead to significant job losses.”

From 2017, providers must prevail in tenders to get the contract for new eco-power plants – so far there are 20 year guaranteed fixed payments. With wind power good 8600 megawatts is Niedersachsen Leader across countries. According to industry figures 32,000 jobs depend directly or indirectly depend on
