All rights reserved.NGlobal Website Administrator (m.melansek@steindesign.de)NGlobal Website Administrator (m.melansek@steindesign.de)Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:46:00 +0200 http://www.nglobal.com/press-publications/single-news/show/happy-birthday-10th-niedersachsen-foreign-trade-day-2013/ On 9 April 2013, the Niedersachsen Foreign Trade Day celebrated its 10th anniversary. The main topic of this year’s conference was the implementation of energy policy in Europe and the related business opportunities in the Benelux countries. Luxemburg Georges Santer, Ambassador of Luxemburg, reported on the energy policy in the Grand Duchy which is closely linked to the energy policy of the European Union. The integration in the European energy market is a key priority for the small, import-dependent country. In addition, Luxemburg puts strong emphasis on renewable energies and the promotion of energy efficiency. Pierre Gramegna from the Chamber of Commerce of Luxemburg talked about energy in supply chain management. As a natural hub for large international logistics streams, Luxemburg can make an essential contribution to an energy-optimized use of existing infrastructures. Netherlands „If there is any policy that is truly transnational, it is the energy policy,” said Marnix Krop, Ambassador of the Netherlands. His country is the largest natural gas producer in the EU and tightly integrated with the energy markets of its neighbours. Recently, an even closer cooperation was agreed upon with Germany, especially in the fields of supply security, infrastructure harmonization and renewable energies. Heinrich Ahlers, Managing Director of Buss Port Logistics, shared the experience his company has made when they built the Orange Blue Terminal in Eemshaven in the Netherlands. The extremely short building time of just 2.5 years had only been possible because Buss got a lot of support from the Dutch authorities who made decisions much faster than German authorities typically would, he said. Energy policy in the EU Günther Oettinger, EU Commissioner for Energy, connected the dots from the foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951 to the current challenges of modern energy policy. Founded just six years after the end of the war by the Benelux countries, France, Italy and Germany, the ECSC paved the way for what is today the largest domestic market in the world. Without this single European market, the German economy would clearly have been less successful, Oettinger said. Energy policy plays an important role, because the energy cost is today what the labour cost used to be in former decades. An intelligent energy strategy is needed on the European level to make sure that these cost can be kept under control and to guarantee open and fair competition on the energy markets. “We need intelligent, cooperative, cross-border solutions,” said Commissioner Oettinger in conclusion. Belgium Belgium’s ambassador Renier Nijskens explained the ambitious targets which his countries has defined for its energy policy: Until 2050, Belgium plans to cover its entire energy demand with renewable energies and, at the same time, to ensure security of supply just as well as reasonable energy prices. A gradual phase-out of nuclear energy, more wind parks in the North Sea, reduction of fossil fuels and promotion of renewable energies are the pillars of the Belgian energy policy. Bart Bode, Head of the Organisation for Sustainable Energies (ODE) in Flanders, is convinced that all EU countries can cover their entire energy demands from renewable energies. “The answer is blowing in the wind,” he said poetically – and in photovoltaics, solar heat and bioenergy. 4th Niedersachsen Foreign Trade Prize One highlight of this event was the award ceremony of the 4th Niedersachsen Foreign Trade Prize. The Foreign Trade Prize highlights and acknowledges exceptional achievements of Niedersachsen companies that succeeded in establishing themselves on foreign markets and perform strongly in the face of international competition. Olaf Lies, Niedersachsen’s Minister for Economics, Labour and Transport, granted the award to Hytera Mobilfunk in the category “SMEs” and to Broetje-Automation in the category “large companies”.

This is the largest individual order in the history of the company.
AMBAU GmbH is set to produce 80 sets of monopiles and transition pieces for the offshore wind parks Meerwind Süd and Meerwind Ost for Bremerhaven-based WindMW GmbH. 80 offshore wind energy units of the 3.6 MW class are planned for a site 23 km north of the island of Helgoland in the North Sea, from where they will supply 360,000 households with electricity. "This order is a major step for us, a milestone in our company's history. We are looking forward to working together with WindMW GmbH," says Joachim Görlitz, Managing Partner of AMBAU GmbH.

The foundation structures will be produced at all five AMBAU plants, with work commencing on 01 November 2011. Final assembly, intermediate storage and loading will take place in Cuxhaven. WindMW GmbH is a joint venture of the Blackstone Group and Windland Energieerzeugungs GmbH. With work beginning at the end of 2012 and commissioning at the end of 2013, Meerwind Süd/Ost will be the first German offshore wind park to be built and operated by a private investor.
