Germany's Gode Wind 3 Offshore Wind Farms Starts Commercial Operations

Ørsted and Nuveen Infrastructure’s 253 MW Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm in Germany has started commercial operations.

Final testing for the Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm, which is jointly owned by Ørsted and Nuveen Infrastructure, was completed on February 28, 2025, and the project is now fully commissioned.

The project is Ørsted’s fifth operational offshore wind farm in Germany, and with an installed capacity of 253 MW, it can supply the equivalent of 250,000 households with renewable power.

The offshore wind farm will be followed by the 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3, for which the last wind turbine was installed in early January.

In Germany, Ørsted can now supply the equivalent of approximately 1.6 million households with renewable electricity from offshore wind alone.

“Offshore wind is a key technology in Germany’s transition to green energy. With the completion of Gode Wind 3, Ørsted now has five operational offshore wind farms in the German part of the North Sea, producing homegrown renewable energy at large scale.

“We’ll further expand our supply of green power to German households and businesses when our next offshore wind farm, Borkum Riffgrund 3, comes online in 2026,” said Patrick Harnett, Chief Operating Officer at Ørsted.
