The 312MW wind farm is a joint venture facility between Dong Energy, with an ownership interest of 50% as well as Kirkbi Invest A/S and William Demant Invest A/S with a joint ownership interest of 50%.
Dong Energy Germany managing director Trine Borum Bojsen said: "Borkum Riffgrund 1 is not only our first wind farm in Germany; it’s also the first in a series of wind farms.
"We’ll continue in 2015 with the installation of the offshore wind farms Gode Wind 1 and 2. With these three wind farms, we’ll have installed approximately 900MW in the German North Sea, thereby providing electricity to nearly one million German households."
Located approximately 37km north of the island Borkum in the German part of the North Sea, the Borkum Riffgrund 1 wind farm is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2015.
The wind facility can produce enough CO2-free electricity to power approximately 320,000 German households.
