The turbines were stored, pre-assembled, and loaded on the MPI Enterprise installation vessel from a port located in Eemshaven, the Netherlands.
Commercial operation of Nordsee One is scheduled to begin by the end of this year, but the farm has already started generating electricity and delivering it to grid.
When fully operational, the turbines will be able to produce a collective 1.2 billion kilowatt hours of energy per year.
Nordsee One managing director Pierre Lestienne said: “Most of the turbines are already feeding green electricity into the grid. We are very pleased with our progress so far.
