The German utility RWE has reached an investment decision on the Nordseecluster project, which include a cluster of two offshore wind parks with a combined capacity of 1.6 GW. The wind parks will be built in the North Sea, about 50 km north of the German island of Juist. The project is expected to generate 6.5 TWh/year of electricity once completed.
The Nordseecluster project will be implemented in two phases. Construction of Nordseecluster A, with capacity of 660 MW and 44 turbines, is expected to start in 2025 with full commissioning planned for the beginning of 2027. Nordseecluster B (900 MW, 60 turbines) will begin construction in 2027 and is scheduled for completion by 2029. Each phase will comprise two parks. NC1 (225 MW) and NC2 (435 MW) for Nordseecluster A, and NC3 (420 MW) and NC4 (480 MW) for Nordseecluster B.
As of end 2022, Germany had a total wind capacity of nearly 66 GW, including 8.4 GW of offshore wind. Germany targets to reach 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, 40 GW by 2035, and at least 70 GW by 2045.
