>Here in Germany we have offshore wind parks that are not connected to the power grid

Source (incl reason for lack of grid connection) please?

Can't find a good source immediately. This article mentions "276 MW of fully installed turbines far out at sea not yet feeding power to the electrical grid" https://energytransition.org/2019/02/german-offshore-wind-ca...

Sorry, maybe more googling would bring up something better. It is well known in Germany.

275MW isn’t much. It’s only 30-40 turbines.

There is an entire wind park. Then it must be another story.

Edit: maybe it is this here: https://www.ingenieur.de/technik/fachbereiche/energie/so-win... - apparently after a couple of years, many of the generators have now finally been connected. That would be good news.
