The installation is 75km off the Island of Rügen, and will consist of 70 Adwen 5MW turbines and one offshore substation with a helideck. Spanish owned engergy company Iberdrola is investing €1.4 billion to construct Wikinger, the company’s first offshore windfarm in German waters. Wikinger is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of this year.
