Borkum Riffgrund
Ørsted and Nuveen Infrastructure have inaugurated the 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
Located approximately 72 kilometres off the German coast, Borkum Riffgrund 3 comprises 83 Siemens Gamesa 11 MW turbines and can generate enough electricity annually to cover the consumption of close to one million German households.
The project is Ørsted’s sixth operational offshore wind farm in Germany and brings the company’s installed offshore wind capacity in the country to around 2.5 GW.
Installation of all 83 turbines was completed in January 2025, with Cadeler and Seaway7 carrying out the turbine installation work.
