Eon has commissioned its 288MW Amrumbank West wind farm in the German North Sea.
The project, which is located some 30km North of Heligoland, features 80 Siemens SWT 3.6MW machines.
The final turbine was erected in September by MPI Adventure, which had been installing turbines since February. Sister vessel MPI Discovery completed foundation work in the Spring.
The wind farm has since May been exporting power via the 690MW HelWin2 grid link.
Eon invested €1bn in the project.
Eon executive Bernhard Reutersberg said: “We’ve commissioned two large offshore wind farms – Amrumbank West and Humber Gateway off the U.K. coast – in just one year.
“Both were completed on time and on budget, which underscores our ability to expand renewables.”
