        Gennaker Offshore Wind Farm

        PROJECT

        Once commissioned, the Gennaker offshore wind farm will be the largest offshore wind project in the German Baltic sea. It was initiated by Skyborn in 2011.

        Project Page in German

        Deeply rooted in the local communities, Gennaker offshore wind farm will deliver long-lasting benefits for all its stakeholders. Gennaker benefits from highly attractive wind & site conditions from the German Baltic Sea. Once commissionned, about 1 million of households will be supplied with clean electricity.
