List of offshore wind farms in Germany

Offshore wind farms in the German Bight

The following is a list of offshore wind farms in Germany, operational within the national maritime boundaries. Germany, along with Denmark and the United Kingdom is a worldwide leader in advancing offshore wind farm technology.

Information about wind farms is gathered and compiled from multiple sources,^[1][2] and primarily commercial databases and is current up to July 2015. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore.

"Cap." is the rated nameplate capacity of the wind farm "When" is the year when the windfarm was commissioned and put into service. "Cost" is the total capital cost of the project up to commissioning. "Cap. Fac." is the average capacity factor, i.e. the average power generated by the windfarm, as a percentage of its nameplate capacity. "km to shore" is the average distance of the windfarm to shore, or (where available) the distance from the in-farm transformer/substation to the shore "Depth range (m)" is the range of minimum to maximum depths of water that the windfarm is sited in "Refs" cite the source references for the information.
