Borkum Riffgrund 2 gets green lights

The German Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) has once again given the green lights to the offshore wind farm Borkum Riffgrund 2.

Originally, Danish developer DONG Energy had already received approval in December 2011, but the originally planned turbines were too small for today's conditions, so the approval procedure – now for larger 8 MW turbines – was carried out again. DONG has now completed all necessary approvals and the construction of the wind farm, which received the final investment decision in June 2016, can go ahead as planned.

Borkum Riffgrund 2 is located 54 km off the Lower Saxony coast in the German North Sea, right next to DONG Energy‘s Borkum Riffgrund 1. The approval of the BSH now includes the construction of 56 MHI Vestas 8MW wind turbines with a rotor blade diameter of 164 meters each. They are the largest wind power turbines planted in German waters. The wind farm has a capacity of 450 MW and is intended to provide 460,000 German households with clean energy after 2019.
