EnBW completes He Dreiht offshore wind farm development

EnBW has completed the construction of the He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the North Sea. The project, located Located approximately 110 kilometers west of the Heligoland archipelago, the project represents an investment of roughly 2.4 billion euros and features 64 wind turbines with a total capacity of 960 megawatts. By late summer, As of mid-2026, the project reached major milestones, including the installation of 64 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines. The infrastructure utilizes a sea-based converter station and high-voltage cables spanning over 120 kilometers underwater and 110 kilometers on land. The facility is expected to be fully operational and by late summer, capable of supplying electricity to approximately 1.1 million households. The project is notable for being among the first German offshore wind farms to operate without subsidies, instead utilizing long-term power purchase agreements with industrial consumers such as Google, Bosch, Deutsche Bahn, Fraport, DHL, and Fraport. SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar. While the project supports Germany’s target of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030, 2030 and follows the nation's decision to decommission its last nuclear power plants, EnBW executives noted that costs for turbines, logistics, and cables have increased by 30 to 40 percent over the last five years.
