RWE and Northland Power have created a 51:49 joint venture (JV) to develop a 1.3 GW cluster of offshore wind plants in the German North Sea. The new offshore wind cluster includes a total of three offshore wind leases, which are located north of the island of Juist. One offshore site (N-3.8) with a capacity of 433 MW was already secured by the partners in the latest German offshore wind auction. The other two leases will add a further 900 MW of capacity and should be auctioned in 2023. The three projects are expected to start commercial operation between 2026 and 2028.
As part of the creation of the new North Sea Cluster, Northland Power is joining RWE in the development of the offshore site N-3.6 (previously known as Delta Nordsee 1&2) with a planned capacity of 480 MW. Meanwhile, RWE is taking a larger share (from 15% to 51%) in the 433 MW site N-3.8 (previously known as Nordsee 2) and the 420 MW offshore lease N-3.5 (previously known as Nordsee 3). The cluster will be located near the existing 332 MW Nordsee One wind park, already developed by Northland and RWE.
