Arcadis Ost 1, Germany

Arcadis Ost 1 to power another 290,000 households in Germany

Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm, a Parkwind Ost GmbH development, will be located in the German Baltic Sea within the 12-nautical mile zone North-East of the Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The wind farm will give a total grid connection capacity of approximately 247 MW and generating enough energy to power 290,000 households. Working in the area requires special considerations for ice loads, chalk, glacial clay and soft soil, and a water depth that varies between 42 and 46 metres. The next-generation XXL monopiles will be the largest ever installed in Europe and weigh around 2,000 tonnes each.

Arcadis Ost 1 is part of a territorial concession for the construction and utilisation of installations for the production of wind energy in the sea regions. The concession was granted by Staatliches Amt für Landwirtschaft und Umwelt Vorpommern and covered by the German renewable energy support system.
