Renewable energy: Largest German offshore wind farm put into operation
However, the opening date is purely ceremonial: because the He Dreiht wind farm has already been supplying electricity for some time. According to EnBW's plans, the wind farm is scheduled to reach full capacity in October.
EnBW has celebrated the launch of Germany's largest offshore wind farm, He Dreiht, located 110km off Helgoland in the North Sea. The wind farm, comprising 64 Vestas turbines with a total capacity of 960 megawatts, has been partially operational since earlier this year, with over two-thirds of the turbines generating electricity.
EnBW expects the wind farm to reach full capacity in October. The project has cost around €2.4 billion and has been hailed by German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider as a step towards reducing the country's reliance on fossil fuels.
