Vattenfall has officially inaugurated the 604MW Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm, located 15-40km off the Danish coast in the Baltic Sea. The offshore wind project was inaugurated by Denmark’s Crown Prince, together with Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Minister Simon Kollerup.
According to the company, Kriegers Flak is the largest offshore wind farm in Denmark and Scandinavia, and is expected to improve Danish wind power production by 16%.
The wind farm covers an area of 132 km² and has 72 offshore wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa, each with a total height of 188 meters. It is expected to generate enough electricity to meet the annual energy consumption needs of approximately 600,000 Danish households.
The offshore project also involves laying approximately 170km of underwater cables.
