Turbine installation has been completed at the 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, a joint venture between Iberdrola and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, also known as Masdar.
The 50 installed wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 9.53 MW, were supplied by Vestas and installed by Fred. Olsen Windcarrier.
Baltic Eagle is the second of Iberdrola’s three major wind farm projects in Germany, along with the operational 350 MW Wikinger and the 315 MW Windanker, still in its planning stage. Collectively, these offshore wind farms form Iberdrola’s Baltic Hub.
Baltic Eagle is Masdar’s first project with Iberdrola and its first in Germany.
“Today’s announcement is an important landmark in the progress of Baltic Eagle, the project which launched our partnership with Iberdrola in July last year and brought together two companies with long histories of pioneering clean energy,” says Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Masdar’s CEO.
“Offshore wind is a vital technology for the energy transition and Masdar looks forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Iberdrola that will deliver more transformative utility-scale projects, supporting the journey to net-zero in Europe and beyond.”
Masdar and Iberdrola signed a partnership to jointly invest in Baltic Eagle last year.
