Upon completion, this will be one of the largest offshore wind farms in Germany with 64 turbines with an output of 15MW. Construction works are to start in 2024. He Dreiht is expected to be operational end of 2025.

The majority shareholder EnBW will develop and operate He Dreiht and will offtake the power generated. Upon completion, the wind farm can provide around 1.1 million households with clean energy.
