produced first power<\/a> in November last year.<\/p>\nWind Orca is transporting the components for three wind turbines at a time from the port of Esbjerg in Denmark to the wind farm and placing them on their respective foundations.<\/p>\n
EnBW plans to install and commission all 64 wind turbines by the summer of 2026, the company says. Once in full operation, the 960 MW offshore wind farm, being built about 85 kilometres northwest of Borkum, will meet the needs of around 1.1 million households.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe Dreiht is our largest offshore project to date \u2013 and it is being built entirely without state funding. For more than 15 years, we at EnBW have been driving the advancement of offshore wind energy. With every new milestone, we are moving one step closer to a sustainable energy future\u201d, said Peter Heydecker, Board Member for Sustainable Generation Infrastructure at EnBW. <\/p>\n
The EUR 2.4 billion project is owned by a consortium made up of EnBW, Allianz, AIP and Norges Bank Investment Management.<\/p>\n
