Stadtwerke MünchenTurbine information Turbines 80 Manufacturer(s) Siemens Wind Power Model(s) SWT-3.6-120 Wind farm information Type Offshore Distance from shore 45 km (28 mi) Power generation information Maximum capacity 400 MW DanTysk is a planned 400 megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm 45 kilometres (28 mi) north of Sylt, an island in the North Sea, on the border between Germany and Denmark. The project developer Vattenfall Windkraft, a subsidiary of Vattenfall, plans to erect 80 wind turbines with a capacity of 5 MW each by the end of 2012. The project's estimated cost is $900 million.[1] The windfarm is sited in water depths up to 30 metres (98 ft).[2]
Initially the project was developed by Geo Gesellschaft für Energie und Ökologie. The project was purchased by Vattenfall in 2007. In 2010, Vattenfall sold 49% stake in the project to Stadtwerke München.[3][2]
Siemens will deliver 80 wind turbines of the SWT-3.6-120 type.[4]
"According to the construction plan, the first turbines will be commissioned in 2013. DanTysk wind farm could deliver clean energy to a minimum of 500,000 households."[2]
