Rødsand I
Rødsand I was built in 2003, with 72 turbines and a total capacity of 166 MW. Annual production is some 570 GW·h, the equivalent to the electricity consumption of 140,000 Danish homes, which could save 500,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.[4] Turbines were installed by A2SEA.[5] In September 2010, DONG bought E.ON's 20% share and sold half of the entire project to pension fund PensionDanmark for 700 million kroner (€94 million / US$120 million) — almost half the DKK1,600 million cost.[1]

Rødsand II
In 2010, a 207 MW extension of the existing wind farm was installed by E.ON at a stated cost of EUR400m and a power delivery contract at DKK 0.629 per kW·h (US$0.12/kW·h).[6] It was originally scheduled to be completed in 2011,[7] but installation happened faster than projected,[8] and on 15 July 2010, E.ON reported that all turbines had been installed and the majority were supplying power to the Danish grid.[9] On 3 August, E.ON reported that the wind farm was ready and went into operation, three months ahead of schedule.[10] Rødsand 2 was inaugurated on 12 October.[2]
