MHI Vestas has handed over 56 V164-8.3 MW turbines, marking the official inauguration of Ørsted's 450 MW Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind project in Germany.
The installation, which was completed ahead of schedule in 2018.
The 450 MW project, the first German offshore wind farm to feature 8 MW turbines and suction bucket jacket foundations, is located 57 km off the coast of Lower Saxony. After a successful installation during the latter part of 2018, the project is now an important addition to the German renewable energy transition, providing enough clean energy to power more than 460,000 homes.
