Overview
- EnBW held a ceremonial opening while more than two thirds of He Dreiht’s 64 turbines are already feeding electricity into the grid.
- The farm comprises 64 Vestas turbines with an installed capacity of about 960 megawatts and EnBW expects full output to be achieved in October.
- EnBW invested roughly €2.4 billion in the project and has signed power‑supply contracts to sell the electricity it generates.
- He Dreiht sits about 110 kilometres off Helgoland and its phased commissioning helped push Germany’s North Sea and Baltic offshore capacity toward roughly 10.8 gigawatts.
- Federal and industry officials say the project will reduce fossil‑fuel dependence and create economic opportunities for coastal regions, which could speed further offshore investment and local jobs.
