The Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm, jointly owned by Ørsted and Nuveen Infrastructure, has started delivering power into the German grid.
The 913 MW offshore wind farm delivered its first power to the grid on December 3, 2025.
The renewable electricity from Borkum Riffgrund 3 will, through several long-term corporate power purchase agreements (CPPAs), help industry and technology customers decarbonize their business.
The offshore wind farm is expected to be fully commissioned in the first quarter of 2026.
Borkum Riffgrund 3 is located about 72 km off the coast in the German North Sea and covers an area of approximately 75 km2. A total of 83 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 11 MW, have been installed at the offshore wind farm.
Furthermore, Borkum Riffgrund 3 is the first offshore wind farm to be built by Ørsted in Germany without an offshore substation (OSS). The new connection concept provides a direct connection between the wind turbines via a 66 kV connection to the DolWin epsilon offshore converter platform, installed and operated by the German transmission system operator, TenneT.
Borkum Riffgrund 3 is supported by several long-term CPPAs, which Ørsted signed with industrial and technology customers. Offtake agreements totaling
