Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm off Rügen is complete
The Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm north-east of Rügen is complete. The last three of the 27 turbines have been installed, the energy company Parkwind announced on Friday. The final work on the cable connections and full commissioning will now follow.
The wind farm in the Baltic Sea reportedly has a capacity of 257 megawatts. Some turbines are already supplying electricity. A spokesperson said that all of them should be feeding electricity into the grid by the end of the year. Arcadis Ost 1 will be officially opened on December 5.
According to the Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, 1.3 gigawatts of capacity are currently installed in the German Baltic Sea and 7.1 gigawatts in the North Sea.
The completion of Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm will contribute significantly to the country's renewable energy sources, as it's expected to provide 257 megawatts of electricity. With the increasing adoption of alternative energies like wind power, the reliance on traditional energy sources for electricity is set to decrease.
