DONG Energy, the LEGO Group and William Demant today celebrate the inauguration of the Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm which can provide clean electricity for 320,000 households.

The joint announcement by top management from DONG Energy, the LEGO Group (KIRKBI A/S), and William Demant, is made in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Joachim of Denmark who officially opened the wind farm.

Uwe Beckmeyer, Federal Ministry of Economy & Energy, State Secretary and Deputy Minister comments: “The first offshore wind farm installed by DONG Energy in Germany is a great success. Borkum Riffgrund 1 is an impressive example of just how fast offshore installations can now be installed. This translates into lower costs and is good news for consumers.”

With a nominal power per turbine of 4.0 MW, the 78 wind turbines will produce enough environmentally friendly electricity to supply 320,000 German households each year.

The planning of the offshore wind farm Borkum Riffgrund 1 began with the final investment decision in 2011. In August 2013, the construction of the wind farm started with the installation of the offshore substation, which is the heart of the wind farm.

DONG Energy is also building the Gode Wind 1 + 2 offshore wind farms in Germany. Expected to be completed in 2016, with a combined capacity of 582 MW they will be the largest offshore wind farms in Germany. They will be able to produce CO2 electricity corresponding to the annual demand of more than 600,000 German households.
