Ecowende's Hollandse Kust West wind farm reached first power on 6 July, connecting its 760MW capacity to TenneT's offshore grid infrastructure in the Dutch North Sea. No turbine count or partial energisation detail was provided in the source, but the milestone marks the project's transition from construction to generation.
On the German onshore side, two developments landed on 7 July. Nordex booked 700MW of new orders (100 turbines across multiple German projects), extending its domestic order backlog. European Energy secured permits for six separate German projects totalling 145MW, pushing them into the auction and project-finance pipeline.
Also on 7 July, ENERCON signed its first German wind-storage hybrid contracts, pairing wind turbines with battery storage at undisclosed sites. Combined, Monday's German activity points to an active permitting and procurement environment in one of Europe's largest onshore markets.
