BERLIN, May 27 (Reuters) - An energy partnership between
Germany and the United States includes expanding off-shore wind
power generation and co-operation on using hydrogen in
industrial production, German economy minister Robert Habeck
said on Friday. 
    "The partnership relates particularly to offshore wind. The
U.S. plans to install the same amount of offshore wind as
Germany, to have installed 30 GW (gigawatt) offshore by 2030,"
he said, speaking alongside U.S. climate envoy John Kerry on the
sidelines of talks by the Group of Seven countries in Berlin.
