Turbine installation completed at 604 MW Offshore wind farm in Denmark

Vattenfall successfully installed the last of a total of 72 turbines at Kriegers Flak, which will be Denmark's largest offshore wind farm. 

The 72 wind turbines each have a total height of 188 metres, and each foundation weighs up to 800 tonnes. The wind farm is located in the Baltic Sea, 15-40 kilometres off the Danish coast. It covers an area of 132 km2, and about 170 kilometres of underwater cables have been laid. 

When the farm is operating at its full capacity, it will have a capacity of 604 MW, covering the electricity consumption of approximately 600,000 Danish households. Kriegers Flak will be Denmark's largest offshore wind farm to date and will increase Danish wind production by approximately 16 percent.

The first turbine was installed in February 2021 and, since then, installation of the remaining Siemens Gamesa offshore wind turbines, has continued smoothly. The next steps will be to finalize the testing and certification of the farm so that it can be inaugurated after summer.
