Germany: Turbine installation has been completed at the 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, a joint venture between Iberdrola and Masdar. When operational, the project will supply around 475000 households with renewable energy while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 800000 tons per year. The 50 installed wind turbines, each with a capacity of 9.53 MW, were supplied by Vestas.
Baltic Eagle is the second of Iberdrola’s three major wind projects in Germany, along with Wikinger (350 MW, in operation) and Windanker (315 MW, in planning), forming Iberdrola’s Baltic Hub. By 2026, the hub will have a total capacity of more than 1.1 GW. Baltic Eagle is Masdar’s first project with Iberdrola and its first in Germany.
“The completion of turbine installation at the Baltic Eagle wind farm is an important milestone in what is a record year for Iberdrola’s offshore wind activity. With this project, Iberdrola is on track to have nearly 5000 MW of offshore capacity globally by the end of 2026. Once fully operational, Baltic Eagle, the second offshore wind farm in our Baltic Hub, will make a considerable contribution to Germany’s energy transition, providing homegrown clean energy to almost half a million homes, whilst reducing emissions.” said Ignacio Galán, Iberdrola’s Executive Chairman.
HE Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Chairman of Masdar, and COP28 President, added: “The installation of the fiftieth and final turbine of the Baltic Eagle offshore windfarm marks an exciting milestone. With the project progressing according to schedule, Baltic Eagle is set to power 475000 German households with clean, renewable energy.”
