Developer EnBW (ETR: EBK) has brought the first of 64 wind turbines online at its North Sea wind farm, attaching them to Germany's power grid on Nov. 26. The $2.8 billion U.S. project, which was announced in 2017, will become Germany's largest offshore wind project once it is fully operational in summer 2026. The project's use of innovative new turbines is a technological leap that is expected to reshape offshore wind economics in the North Sea, according to EnBW. The turbines being used generate more than six times the energy of EnBW's first offshore wind turbines located in the Baltic Sea. The new massive wind farm in the North Sea is expected to provide power to major industrial centers in Northwest Europe. In recent years, Germany's government has awarded a growing number of offshore wind contracts as it focuses on renewable energy sources. The situation in Germany, Europe's largest economy, is different than in the U.S. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled most offshore wind projects as it tries to encourage more reliance on the oil and gas industry and fossil fuels.
