Merkur Offshore Wind Farm in Germany: 66 Haliade 150-6MW Installation Complete!

GE Renewable Energy completed the installation of 66 Haliade 150-6MW offshore wind turbines at the Merkur offshore wind farm in the North Sea. The 396 MW wind farm is one of the largest offshore wind farms in Germany, able to generate approximately 1,750 GWh annually and to power 500,000 households in the region.

This was my favourite project I was on the Oleg strashnov for the substation jacket installation and the sea challenger for 5 months doing the tp installation loved every minute of it.

Hello Ryan, can we text each other?

I BELIEVE

Why does the hub look so wide compared to the block island wind turbines?

A great success of Total Wind, Global Wind and GE co-operation. We are waiting for the next challenge.

Beautiful project ! This wind park will provide good jobs for maintenance and upgrades. It's also a smart investment, because there is always wind in the sea :-)

This is so cool! Great job Germany! While I think you should have shut down your coal plants and not your nuclear plants, I am glad that you are investing big money into renewables like this! Well done. Germany, Europe, you make me proud in many ways! From Canada

I too am sad that Germany prioritized decommissioning its Nuclear plants, but political decisions many times go sideways. Here one only needs to think about the employment sector supporting Coal vs Nuclear, about 10 to 1 would be my estimate. And those jobs (coal mine, rail transport, etc) are spread over many voting districts, so few politicians will stand and raise their hand to decommission coal. Coal will die via economics.

Ultimate dream to work in....

Hi! awesome project. I wish I could be part of something that is as good for the planet as this. Just one doubt, maybe Im doing bad the math but the capacity of 1750 GWh is way too high for 500 000 houses. Can someone please explain?? Thank you.

[@GERenewableEnergy]

Hi Luis, if the average German household consumes 3,500 kWh then 1,750 GWh is sufficient for 500,000 households. Thanks,

keep it up GE!! You can dig out of the damage that Welch's leadership did..
