Nordsee Ost's location in the wind farms of the German Bight

The wind farm consists of 48 turbines with a total capacity of 295 MW. The 6.15 MW turbines were provided by REpower.[2] Steel foundations for generators were supplied by Aker Verdal.[3][4] Power converters were supplied by Woodward Governor Company.[5] A consortium of Siemens and Prysmian built the high-voltage direct current submarine cable from the wind farm to the German transmission system operated by Transpower, a subsidiary of TenneT.[6]

Delays in power line construction by Dutch TenneT delayed its operational start.[7]

On 11 May 2015 the wind farm was officially put into operation.[8]
