The extended analysis takes a closer look at different offshore wind expansion scenarios for 70 GW by 2045, including reduced power density in the German EEZ, cross-border radial connections to Denmark and Sweden, as well as overplanting. The results confirm the positive effect of international spatial planning: shifting capacities to Danish and Swedish maritime areas can significantly increase total energy yield, with the strongest effect in the scenario with a 20 GW cross-border shift. In this scenario, the higher yields more than offset the additional costs for operation and grid connection. The overplanting scenario adds an important finding: while additional overplanting improves energy yield and grid utilization compared with the reference scenario, it does not outperform the pure 20 GW cross-border shift without overplanting. When international capacity shifts are combined with overplanting, wake and curtailment losses significantly reduce the positive effect on resulting energy yield.
