The German energy group EnBW has announced the installation of the first wind turbine at its 960MW He Dreiht wind project in the German North Sea. The project plans to install a total of 64 V236-15.0 MW Vestas turbines rated 15 MW each, enough to power 1.1 million homes. The project represents EnBW’s largest offshore project to date and is located 85 km northwest of Borkum and about 110 km west of Helgoland in the southwestern side of the North Sea
The project started construction works in May 2024 and is being developed by EnBW (50.1%), in partnership with a consortium of Allianz insurance companies, AIP and Norges Bank Investment Management (49.9%).
Germany has a total installed capacity of 257 GW (end 2024), of which offshore wind capacity accounted for 8.85 GW (3%). The country targets 30 GW of wind offshore by 2030 (with 5-7 GW/year until 2026), 40 GW by 2040, and at least 70 GW by 2045.
