Germany inaugurates its largest offshore wind farm He Dreiht in the North Sea

Germany inaugurated its largest offshore wind farm on Thursday, He Dreiht, located 90 km north of the island of Borkum in the North Sea. With a power of 960 MW thanks to 64 wind turbines, it can power 1.1 million homes. Despite a delay due to a blade incident in July and a €2.4 billion investment by EnBW, the park operates without state subsidies, relying on PPA contracts with companies including Frankfurt Airport and Bosch. This inauguration comes in a context of uncertainty for the German wind sector, between criticism from Donald Trump and internal debates on reducing subsidies, while the objective of tripling offshore capacity to 30 GW by 2030 is maintained.
