Iberdrola and Masdar have completed the installation of all turbines at their 476 MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in Germany, marking a significant milestone in the project.
The wind farm will provide renewable energy to around 475,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 800,000 tonnes annually.
Iberdrola's executive chairman, Ignacio Galán, said, “The completion of turbine installation at the Baltic Eagle wind farm is an important milestone in what is a record year for Iberdrola's offshore wind activity. With this project, Iberdrola is on track to have nearly 5,000 MW of offshore capacity globally by the end of 2026. Once fully operational, Baltic Eagle, the second offshore wind farm in our Baltic Hub, will make a considerable contribution to Germany's energy transition, providing homegrown clean energy to almost half a million homes, whilst reducing emissions.”
Masdar's chairman, Sultan Al Jaber, echoed these sentiments, stating, “The installation of the fiftieth and final turbine of the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm marks an exciting milestone. With the project progressing according to schedule, Baltic Eagle is set to power 475,000 German households with clean, renewable energy. This achievement also strengthens Masdar's partnership with Iberdrola, driving significant expansion in our offshore wind portfolio and advancing the global energy transition.”
Baltic Eagle, part of Iberdrola's larger Baltic Hub, is the second of three major offshore projects in Germany, alongside Wikinger (350 MW) and Windanker (315 MW). Collectively, these projects are expected to have a total capacity of over 1.1 GW by 2026, with an investment of approximately €3.7 billion.
