en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens Gamesa and Cadeler have completed the installation of all 100 turbines at RWE's 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm, located approximately 195 kilometers off the northeast coast of the UK.

RWE confirmed on June 12 that the "Wind Peak," a wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) operated by Siemens Gamesa and owned by Cadeler, installed the 100th SG-14 222 DD turbine on June 10. RWE stated that testing and commissioning of the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power distribution system at the Sofia site are still ongoing, and the turbines will be connected to the system upon completion.

The first of the project's 100 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222 DD turbines was installed in March 2025, with the project reaching its halfway milestone last September. The WTIV "Wind Peak," operating from the Port of Hull, can carry six turbine components per voyage and receives support at the project site from the service operation vessel (SOV) "IWS Seawalker," owned by IWS. Half of the turbines at the Sofia wind farm are equipped with recyclable blades, manufactured by Siemens Gamesa at its Hull factory using a unique resin that allows easy separation of component materials at the end of the blades' service life. According to the developer, the 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm is expected to be fully commissioned this year, generating enough electricity to meet the needs of approximately 1.2 million UK households.
