RWE Offshore Wind – Global player in offshore wind power

The demand for electricity from renewable energies is rising dramatically. RWE Offshore Wind fulfills this growing demand by planning, constructing, and operating offshore wind farms. Already the world’s second largest offshore company, RWE Offshore Wind GmbH plans to increase its capacity from the current 3 GW to 8 GW by 2030 (RWE’s share). As part of the “Growing Green” investment and growth strategy, RWE will be investing several billion euros in the expansion of offshore wind power. In connection with current projects in development as well as upcoming auctions in Europe, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region, RWE Offshore Wind is preparing to implement several complex projects. Recently completed construction projects include the offshore wind farms at Triton Knoll and Kaskasi.

Taking a proactive role in the energy transition by using innovations and technologies effectively

RWE Offshore Wind tests a wide variety of new technologies in our offshore wind farms, enabling these plants to operate more efficiently and economically. In addition to the economic efficiency of our wind farms, their compatibility with the environment is the primary consideration. RWE Offshore Wind works exhaustively with its suppliers to reduce possible negative impacts on the environment. For this reason, we are testing the world’s first recyclable rotor blade at our Kaskasi offshore wind farm, off the coast of Heligoland. Other activities include research into the behaviour of marine life and birds
