Gennaker
Offshore
Wind Farm

The Gennaker offshore wind farm is a large-scale renewable energy project located within the German Baltic Sea and represents the largest infrastructure investment in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since reunification. With a capacity of up to 976.5 MW, it will generate clean electricity for approx. one million households, supporting Germany's energy transition, strengthening energy security, and driving regional development.

The development

Fifteen years of development and commitment

The Gennaker offshore wind farm was initiated in 2011 and has since then been continuously developed and refined in response to evolving regulatory, technical, and market conditions. The project has now transitioned into execution, the phase involving onshore manufacturing and offshore installation.

The location

German Baltic Sea, fifteen kilometers offshore

The Gennaker offshore wind farm is located within the Darß priority area, approx. fifteen kilometers north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula along the German coast. This location enables capturing consistent winds while respecting environmental and maritime regulations.
