The agreement follows RWE’s successful bid for the sites during Germany’s offshore wind auction held in August 2024.

The sites, identified as N-9.1 and N-9.2, are situated between 110km and 115km northwest of Borkum Island and have the potential to host 2GW each.

Investment decisions for the projects are set for 2027 for N-9.1 and 2028 for N-9.2.

Subject to obtaining the necessary permits and grid connection confirmation, offshore construction could therefore commence in 2029 and 2030.
