The Spanish energy group Iberdrola has announced that the first turbine of the 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind project, located off Pomerania in northern Germany, has been installed. The turbine is the first out of 50 Vestas V174-9.5MW wind turbines to be installed, each with an output of about 9.5 MW. Completion is expected by the end of 2024.
The Baltic Eagle offshore wind project, developed by a joint venture between Iberdrola and the UAE’s Masdar, is expected to supply around 475,000 German households and offset emissions by about 800 ktCO2/year upon completion.
Baltic Eagle is the second of three major projects led by Iberdrola in Germany, along with the Wikinger (350 MW, in operation) and Windanker (315 MW, in planning) wind parks. Collectively, these offshore wind parks form Iberdrola's Baltic Hub, which will have a total capacity of more than 1.1 GW by 2026.
