Nordsee Ost's location in the wind farms of the German Bight

Nordsee-Ost offshore wind farm is an offshore wind farm in operation in the eastern part of the North Sea German sector. The project was developed by RWE Innogy, a subsidiary of RWE.

The wind farm consists of 48 turbines with a total capacity of 295 MW. The 6.15 MW turbines were provided by REpower.[1] Steel foundations for generators were supplied by Aker Verdal.[2][3] Power converters were supplied by Woodward Governor Company.[4] A consortium of Siemens and Prysmian built the high-voltage direct current submarine cable from the wind farm to the German transmission system operated by Transpower, a subsidiary of TenneT.[5]

Delays in power line construction by Dutch TenneT delayed its operational start.[6]

On 11 May 2015 the wind farm was officially put into operation.[7]
