Offshore wind farms in Germany: Three new projects without state funding

There are a lot of nice pictures and news from offshore wind power right now. In mid-September, EnBW celebrated the opening of Germany's largest wind farm He Dreiht, which is Low German for "He turns". 64 wind turbines are now rotating in the North Sea and can theoretically supply 1.1 million households with green electricity. A few days later, the Ørsted Group inaugurated the Borkum Riffgrund 3 wind farm with a ceremony. At Vattenfall's Nordlicht 1, the foundations are currently being anchored in the seabed and the first connecting pieces to the mighty towers are being installed. With 980 megawatts of installed capacity, it is expected to be completed in 2028 - and will then be Germany's largest park. All three operate without any government funding.
