The last turbine at RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm, off Germany, has been installed 35 km north of the island of Helgoland.
More than two-thirds of the 38 wind turbines at the 342MW wind farm are now feeding green electricity into the grid.
The entire wind farm is expected to be operational by the end of the year.
Kaskasi is RWE’s sixth wind farm off the German coast.
At Kaskasi wind farm, recyclable rotor blades rotate on some turbines.
The RecyclableBlade from Siemens Gamesa, uses a resin with a special chemical structure, allowing for separation of materials, while protecting the properties of the individual materials and enabling their reuse in other applications.
As part of its “Growing Green” investment and growth strategy, RWE aims to increase its offshore wind capacity from 3GW today to 8GW by 2030 (RWE share).
In the German North Sea, RWE is working with a Canadian partner to develop four offshore wind projects with a total output of over 1.5GW.
Sven Utermöhlen, CEO Wind Offshore, RWE Renewables, said: “Together with our partner companies, our team has persistently pushed ahead with the installation of turbines at our sixth wind farm off the German coast. Since July, a total of 38 wind turbines have been successfully installed off the island of Heligoland.
“This is exactly the kind of determination we need, because faster offshore expansion allows us to achieve our climate targets as well as greater energy sovereignty.”
