RWE, TotalEnergies partner for 4 GW offshore wind projects off German coast

RWE has partnered with TotalEnergies to develop two offshore wind projects with a combined capacity of 4GW off the coast of Germany. TotalEnergies will acquire a 50% equity stake in both projects, marking a significant collaboration in renewable energy.

The projects, identified as N-9.1 and N-9.2, are located between 110km and 115km northwest of Borkum Island. Each site has a potential capacity of 2GW. Investment decisions are expected in 2027 for N-9.1 and 2028 for N-9.2, with offshore construction set to begin in 2029 and 2030. Full commissioning is planned for 2031 and 2032, respectively.

This partnership builds on the companies’ collaboration on the OranjeWind project in the Netherlands and represents a strategic move to support Germany’s energy transition goals.
