New German offshore wind farm renamed Nordlicht I

Tuesday, February 14 2023

Wind Energy – Germany

The German 980 MW wind project “N-7.2” located in the North Sea has been renamed Nordlicht I.

By the end of 2027 it will produce fossil-free wind power for one million German households.

In the coming years, Vattenfall intends to build Nordlicht I, a state-of-the-art offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 980 megawatts without government subsidies.

Subject to the company’s final investment decision, Nordlicht I can go online by the end of 2027. In continuous operation, the wind farm can then produce an amount of electricity per year that corresponds to the annual consumption of more than one million average German households.

The construction area for Nordlicht I is around 85 kilometres north of the island of Borkum. As part of the bidding process for this area, Vattenfall asserted its so-called right of entry in autumn 2022.
