en.Wedoany.com Reported - RWE has completed the installation of the first turbine at its Nordseecluster offshore wind project in the German North Sea. Located 50 kilometers north of the island of Juist, the project has a total planned capacity of 1.6 GW and will be built in two phases.

The first phase, Nordseecluster A, is being constructed using DEME's installation vessel Norse Wind. It will install 44 Vestas turbines, each with a rated capacity of 15 MW, a hub height of 145 meters, and blade lengths of 115 meters. These turbines are scheduled to be fully in place by the end of 2026. RWE stated that this installation demonstrates the coordination and safety control required for large-scale offshore construction; Vestas noted that this milestone highlights the strength of their long-term partnership.

The first phase has a planned capacity of 660 MW and is expected to begin grid-connected power generation in early 2027. The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will add 900 MW, with foundation work starting next year, turbine installation planned for 2028, and commercial operations expected in early 2029.

Once both phases are fully operational, the annual power generation will be approximately 6.5 TWh. RWE stated that this electricity will be used to drive industrial decarbonization and provide customized energy solutions for customers. Amazon signed a 110 MW power purchase agreement related to Nordseecluster B earlier this year.
