The 288 MW Butendiek Offshore Wind Farm is located in the North-Sea within the German exclusive economic zone, 32 km west off the German Island of Sylt in water depths of up to 22 meters. It consists of 80 Siemens 3.6 MW wind turbines mounted on monopile foundations and connected to a 155kV offshore transformer station fitted with a helicopter platform. The project successfully entered the operational stage in summer 2015 and will supply the equivalent of approximately 370,000 households with electricity each year. The project was completed on time and within its target budget of €1.3bn.
