Great news from our Sofia Offshore Wind Farm: the first turbine is in place. This is a significant milestone for one of RWE’s largest and most powerful offshore wind projects. We are installing 100 Siemens Gamesa turbines in total, each standing 252 metres tall – higher than the buildings in Canary Wharf in London. With capacity of up to 1.4 gigawatts, Sofia will produce enough electricity to supply the equivalent of up to 1.2 million UK homes. Sustainability is also a key focus, as half of the turbine blades are recyclable – a major step towards a more circular offshore wind industry. The turbine installation vessel, Wind Peak, transports six turbine components per trip and assembles them offshore – a true feat of engineering, logistics, and teamwork! A huge thank you to all our teams and partners who are making this project such a success. The coming months will be exciting – by 2026, Sofia will be fully operational and will contribute to the UK’s Clean Power 2030 targets.
Congratulations
Congratulations 🚀
Always a fantastic milestone in any offshore wind project! The team must be buzzing! Great work - hoping the installation phase goes smoothly and they get into a great rhythm :)
Big congrats, Sven 🎉

4dAwesome sight to see and what a big milestone after all the hard work that has gone on by hundreds if not thousands of people to arrive at this point. Feel like there should be a champagne christening as they do with the launch of a new ship. Jonny Brownsteen reckon you can send me the photo now? 😊
