EnBW opens 960 MW He Dreiht as North Sea pipeline fills

EnBW cut the ribbon on He Dreiht, marking the formal inauguration of the 960 MW German offshore wind project. Full operation is expected in the coming months, per Renews.biz, but the milestone signals the project is past its construction peak. He Dreiht sits in the German bidding zone and will rank among the largest single offshore assets feeding into that market once fully commissioned.

Heerema started steel fabrication for the jacket substructure supporting the IJmuiden Ver Gamma offshore connection. The project carries a 2 GW nameplate, making it a material addition to the Dutch zone's future offshore capacity. Jacket fabrication is an early but commitment-heavy stage: steelwork schedules typically set the critical path for installation windows one to two years out.

Orsted confirmed the installation of the second topside at Hornsea 3 off the Yorkshire coast. The developer described it as an engineering feat, though no updated capacity or completion timeline figures were provided in the available reporting. Taken together, the three milestones reflect active construction momentum across the North Sea corridor.
