Orlando Alonso , Windar Renovables Executive President, said: “Iberdrola’s new order demonstrates the high-quality of our products and the reliability of our processes. It also confirms our forecasts that we expect a strong activity growth in the sector, for which Windar Renovables is reinforcing its corporate structure and is working to increase its capacities to respond to this challenge and continue to deserve the trust of such important customers”.
The Windanker offshore wind farm will be built next to the German island of Rügen and will comprise 20 turbines of the 15 MW class, installed in water depths between 41.5 and 44.9 metres.
In the German Baltic Sea, Iberdrola is already operating the 350 MW Wikinger and is currently building the 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm. Together with the upcoming 315 MW offshore wind farm, the two projects are part of Iberdrola’s Baltic Hub, scheduled to operate an installed capacity of over 1.1 GW by 2026.
Windanker is expected to be operational in 2026 and will be the first offshore project in the German Baltic Sea at market conditions, according to information shared by Iberdrola earlier.
Iberdrola already has power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed for the 315 MW Windanker offshore wind farm with Amazon and Mercedes-Benz.
