Half of the 50 wind turbines that will make up the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in Germany have been installed, according to information in Iberdrola’s financial report for the first half of 2024.
The 476 MW offshore wind farm, currently under construction in the German Baltic Sea, will comprise 50 Vestas V174-9.5 MW wind turbines installed on monopile foundations by Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s jack-up vessel Blue Tern .
The wind turbine installation at the Baltic Eagle project site started in May and the offshore wind farm is scheduled to be built and commissioned by the end of this year.
Baltic Eagle is a joint venture between Masdar and Iberdrola with the Spanish renewable energy company leading the project construction and operation.
With a generation capacity of 476 MW, Baltic Eagle can produce enough electricity annually to supply approximately 475,000 households with renewable energy.
The project has already secured several power purchase agreements (PPA), including a PPA with the global tech giant Amazon and German steel manufacturers Dillinger and Saarstahl .
