EnBW inaugurates 960MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea
EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg (EBK.DE) and its partners have officially launched the 960MW He Dreiht offshore wind project, located approximately 85km northwest of Borkum. The facility consists of 64 Vestas V236-15MW turbines with a total capacity sufficient to power around 1.1 million households annually. The project was developed without state funding and is supported by long-term PPAs signed with major companies including Evonik, Google, Bosch, Deutsche Bahn, DHL Group, and others. EnBW holds a majority stake of 50.1%, while the remaining share is held by Allianz Global Investors (ALV.DE), AIP Management, and Norges Bank Investment Management. Construction began in May 2024 with over 500 workers involved at peak times. The project marks EnBW's largest single investment in renewables to date and underscores the company’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio.
