- RWE installed 342-MW Kaskasi offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
- Some of the blades included recyclable blades.
At the 342-MW Kaskasi offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, RWE has installed every turbine, and most are already supplying clean electricity to the grid.
According to RWE, the final turbine was constructed 21.7 miles (35 km) north of the German island of Heligoland. By the end of the year, all 38 machines will be operational and provide clean energy to more than 400,000 families annually.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA created the first recyclable rotor blades in the world for Kaskade, RWE’s sixth wind farm off the coast of Germany. All project turbines were provided by the Spanish firm, some of which included recyclable blades.
In addition to Kaskasi, the German power giant and a partner are currently building four additional offshore wind projects in the German North Sea with a combined capacity of over 1.5 GW.
RWE already has 3 GW of offshore wind capacity globally, and by the end of this decade, they want to increase that to 8 GW.
