Ørsted has reached important milestones for both phases of its combined 112 MW Bahren West onshore wind project in Brandenburg, Germany. Bahren West I is now Ørsted’s largest German onshore wind project in its portfolio. With its 50.4 MW capacity, the project can supply the equivalent of 35,000 German households.
With the first stage of the Bahren West wind farms completed, Ørsted now sets its sight on the second phase of the project with construction work of the 61.6 MW Bahren West II Onshore Wind Farm expected to commence in May 2025. Its final completion is expected in 2027.
The project underlines Ørsted’s commitment to driving forward the energy transition in Germany and expanding its onshore wind portfolio in the country.
Stefan Bachmaier, Managing Director of Ørsted Onshore Germany, expressed excitement over the operation of Bahren West I and the upcoming construction of Bahren West II. He highlighted the projects as key milestones in Ørsted’s onshore wind ambitions in Germany, emphasizing the company’s contribution to Germany’s renewable energy goals and its commitment to providing reliable, sustainable energy.
In addition to the Bahren West wind farms, Ørsted also expects to commission its 16.8 MW onshore wind farm, St. Wendel, later this year. The Bahren West onshore wind farms are located on the German-Polish border in the municipality of Neiße-Malxetal, Brandenburg.
Globally, Ørsted has an installed onshore wind power capacity of approximately 3.8 GW.
