Located in the Baltic Sea, Germany’s first commercial offshore wind farm is now fully operational. EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG commissioned the project, which consists of 21 Siemens wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2.3MW and a rotor diameter of 93 meters.
Siemens Energy constructed the facility in an area covering about seven square kilometers in the Baltic Sea, located approximately 16 kilometers north of the Darss/Zingst peninsula. Siemens will also build the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm (formerly known as Kriegers Flak), which was also planned by EnBW. It will have a total of 80 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6MW and a rotor diameter of 120 meters. Baltic 2 is slated for connection to the grid in 2013.
