Wind Energy – Baltic Eagle
Iberdrola and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) have completed the installation of all 50 wind turbines at the 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
When fully operational, Baltic Eagle will supply around 475,000 households with renewable energy while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 800,000 tons per year.
The 50 installed wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 9.53 MW, were supplied by Vestas and installed by the shipping company Fred Olsen Windcarrier.
Baltic Eagle is the second of Iberdrola’s three major wind farm projects in Germany, along with Wikinger (350 MW, in operation) and Windanker (315 MW, in planning). Collectively, these offshore wind farms form Iberdrola’s Baltic Hub.
Baltic Eagle is Masdar’s first project with Iberdrola and also its first in Germany.
