MHI Vestas has installed the first turbine at Northland Power’s 269MW Deutsche Bucht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The project, located 95km northwest of the island of Borkum, will feature 33 V164-8.4MW machines.
MHI Vestas chief operations officer Flemming Ougaard said: “We are very pleased to see the first turbine successfully installed at Deutsche Bucht.
“The project is an important one for MHI Vestas and our partners, not only because of our growing experience in Germany, but also our contribution to the German energy transition.”
Turbines are being installed on 31 monopiles and two mono bucket foundations, with the latter part of a pilot project for the technology.
Deutsche Bucht is slated to come online by the end of the year.
