en.Wedoany.com Reported - Belgian offshore engineering company DEME has installed the first wind turbine at the Nordseecluster A offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, the first phase of the 1.6 GW Nordseecluster.

The installation was carried out by DEME's vessel "Norse Wind," which can transport and install up to five turbines per lifting cycle.

Nordseecluster A, with a capacity of 660 MW, consists of 44 Vestas 15 MW turbines. All turbines are scheduled to be installed by the end of 2026, with the entire wind farm expected to commence commercial operations in early 2027.

The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will add another 900 MW of capacity, bringing the total cluster capacity to 1.6 GW. Manufacturing of key components for this phase has already begun, with foundation installation planned to start next year, followed by the installation of 60 Vestas turbines in 2028, targeting commercial operations by early 2029.

Located approximately 50 kilometers north of the island of Juist, the 1.6 GW Nordseecluster is expected to generate around 6.5 TWh of electricity annually once completed. The project is jointly owned by RWE (51% stake) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49% stake), with RWE responsible for construction and long-term operations throughout the project's lifecycle.
