The 295MW Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm in the German North Sea generated 1TWh of electricity in the first year since the formal opening ceremony.
The 48 Senvion 6.2M126 turbines delivered enough power to supply some 320,000 households, owner and operator RWE innogy said.
Earlier this week, RWE has reported a 7% rise in operating profit in the first quarter of 2016 driven by energy trading and renewables.
The commissioning of the new 295MW Nordsee Ost and 576MW Gwynt y Mor offshore wind farms had a positive effect on the results, according to the German utility.
Last summer, RWE Innogy temporarily shut down 24 of the wind farm’s turbines after a blade broke on one of the project’s turbines.
