EnBW Baltic 1 is the first commercial offshore wind farm of Germany in the Baltic Sea. Siemens supplied 21 SWT 2.3-93 wind turbines for the 48.3 megawatt wind farm. EnBW Baltic 1 is located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of the Darss-Zingst Peninsula and covers about seven square kilometers. Work started in July 2010; the wind farm was officially commissioned on 2 May 2011.
Cable supplier NKT Holding was 3 months late with the delivery for Baltic1, therefore the €195m cable order for EnBW Baltic 2 was granted to General Cable instead. However, in August 2011, NKT got the Baltic 2 cable contract anyway, and is to deliver the Köln-produced 60 km 150 kV AC cable in 2013 at a price of EUR100 million. EnBW Baltic 2 will be 288 MW from 80 Siemens 3.6MW turbines. Baltic2 will be connected to Germany via Baltic1, but also to Denmark via Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm around 2018, creating a 400MW offshore grid. The cable to Denmark costs €350m, of which €150m comes from the EU.
The €1250m Baltic2 produced power in September 2015.
