Eco-electricity - Many turbines for Baltic Eagle Wind Park are already in operation

According to Spanish energy company Iberdrola, more than half of the planned 50 wind turbines in the Baltic Eagle offshore wind park north of Rügen in the Baltic Sea have already been installed. They will be gradually brought online to feed energy into the grid - 19 turbines have already been registered as operational.

Baltic Eagle is a joint venture between Spanish energy company Iberdrola and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company. According to a recent announcement from the international investor consortium, the offshore wind park, scheduled for completion by the end of this year, will have a total capacity of 476 Megawatts. This is enough to supply electricity to 475,000 households with green energy, the statement says. This corresponds to approximately half of all households in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The wind park, located about 30 kilometers from Rügen, is currently the largest wind energy project under construction on the German Baltic Sea coast, according to the Offshore Wind Energy Foundation. The five wind parks currently in operation there have a total capacity of around 1300 Megawatts.

1. Iberdrola, being part of the Baltic Eagle energy company, is contributing significantly to Germany's shift towards green electricity, as the offshore wind park in Sassnitz near the Baltic Sea will provide energy for over 475,000 households once fully operational.
2. The construction of the Baltic Eagle wind park, an offshore venture between Iberdrola and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, is currently the largest wind energy project underway on Germany's Baltic Sea coast.
3. When all 50 wind turbines in the Baltic Eagle offshore wind park are online, the energy produced will be transferred to the German grid, contributing to the country's net zero carbon emissions target by 2045.
4. After 19 turbines in the Baltic Eagle wind park have been registered as operational, the remaining half will be installed offshore in the Baltic Sea, near Sassnitz in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
5. Berlin's support for offshore wind energy projects like Baltic Eagle aligns with the European Union's objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, according to the EU Green Deal agreement.
