By GlobalDataOnce operational, the facility has an annual generation capacity of 1,200GWh.
As well as providing sufficient power to electrify around 340,000 homes, the facility will offer the benefits of reducing 900,000t of CO2 emission.
EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg had consented to the sale of its 49.89% stake in the Baltic 2 wind project earlier in the year, which will be acquired by Macquarie Capital for nearly €720m.
EnBW will retain the remaining stake for the facility. The wind farm is scheduled to start operations by spring this year.
