EnBW nears completion of 960 MW wind farm

EnBW nears completion of 960 MW wind farm

EnBW said it expects to soon finish installing all turbines at a 960 MW wind project. The company did not specify a completion date.

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg has finished placing all 64 wind turbines at its He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, marking a significant construction milestone for the 960 MW project.

Installation Complete at Major North Sea Project

The completion of turbine installation represents a key stage in bringing He Dreiht toward operational status. The project, developed by EnBW in the German North Sea, comprises 64 individual turbines that together constitute a 960 MW generating capacity. Earlier reporting had indicated that EnBW anticipated finalizing the turbine placement shortly, and the company has now confirmed that work is finished.

Project Scale and Significance

At 960 MW, He Dreiht ranks among the larger offshore wind developments in German waters. The project reflects the continued buildout of Germany's offshore wind capacity as the country pursues its renewable energy transition targets. Completing the physical installation of all turbines moves the facility closer to the commissioning and grid connection phases that would allow it to begin delivering electricity.

No additional details regarding a projected commercial operation date, grid connection timeline, or turbine manufacturer were present across the available source reports.
