Located approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Borkum Island and about 110 kilometres of Heligoland, the He Dreiht offshore wind farm is expected to be operational by the end of 2025 while construction is planned to start in May next year.
The project will feature 64 Vestas wind turbines each with an individual output of 15 MW. EnBW made the final investment decision (FID) for the offshore wind farm in March.
Once operational, He Dreiht will generate green electricity for the equivalent of 1.1 million German households.
