Nordsee One Celebrates One Year of Operations

The 332 MW Nordsee One offshore wind farm started full commercial operation one year ago. Since then, the wind farm, located  40 km north of the German island of Juist in the North Sea, has produced green electricity to supply the equivalent of 400,000 German households. Nordsee One is owned by Northland Power (85%), innogy (13.5%) and Enova (1.5%).

“I can sum up the first twelve months of operations in three words: produce, preserve and prevent”, said Tim Kittelhake, Managing Director (COO) of Nordsee One GmbH. “Applying our forward-looking operation and maintenance strategy, the team successfully prevented downtimes, significantly reduced energy losses and maintained high availability of our wind turbines. If the wind was blowing, our 54 turbines were ready to produce green electricity. I am proud of the team not only for working hard but most importantly, for working safely.”
