Sassnitz-Mukran, Germany – The first Arcadis Ost 1 wind turbines have been successfully energized and are now producing energy. Parkwind’s Arcadis Ost 1 has been delivering power to the German grid since Jan. 12.
Arcadis Ost 1 is a 257-MW wind farm developed by Parkwind, located in the German territorial waters of the Baltic Sea, northeast of the island of Rügen, and it will generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of up to 290,000 households. It is the first wind farm equipped with Vestas V174-9.5MW turbines and Parkwind’s first international project.
Foundation and offshore substation installation started in June, shortly followed by the laying of cables in August and turbine installation at the end of November. In the full-winter period, floating turbine installation, cable termination and turbine commissioning ensued in what the company called "a seamless process."
Together with its partner 50Hertz, the first turbines were brought online over the past few weeks.
