Wedoany.com Report-Mar 17, Ørsted has completed the initial phase of the 112MW Bahren West onshore wind project in Brandenburg, Germany.
The Bahren West I project consists of nine wind turbines.
The 50.4MW wind farm is now operational, while the Bahren West II wind farm, the second phase of the project, is set to enter its construction phase.
The Bahren West I project consists of nine Vestas V150 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 5.6MW.
The project is capable of supplying power to 35,000 German households.
Construction of the 61.6MW Bahren West II onshore wind farm is due to start in May 2025, with the project to be fully completed by 2027.
The Bahren West II project will consist of 11 Vestas V150 wind turbines, each with an output of 5.6MW.
Vestas has entered a 20-year AOM [Active Output Management] 4000 service agreement for the turbines at Bahren West II. The delivery is expected to start in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2026, with commissioning set for Q2 2027.
The wind farm will generate sufficient renewable energy to meet the needs of 45,000 German households.
The Bahren West onshore wind farms are positioned on the German-Polish border, within the municipality of Neiße-Malxetal, Brandenburg.
Ørsted onshore Germany managing director Stefan Bachmaier stated: “We’re delighted to be able to announce the operation of Bahren West I and the imminent start of construction of Bahren West II at the same time.
“The two projects are significant milestones for Ørsted’s onshore wind ambitions in Germany. With Bahren West, we’re not only making a strong contribution to Germany’s renewable energy targets, but also reaffirming our commitment to providing renewable, reliable, and sustainable energy.”
Alongside the Bahren West wind farms, the company plans to commission its 16.8MW onshore wind farm, St. Wendel, later in 2025.
In February, Ørsted commenced offshore construction for the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 wind farms in Taiwan.
