Gode Wind 1, 2, and 3 are offshore wind farms located north-west of Norderney in the German sector of North Sea. They are owned by Ørsted.[2] All three are operational by March 2025.[3]
Wind farm layout
The projects were originally developed by PNE Wind AG who had received approvals for Gode Wind 1 and 2 from Germany's Federal Agency for Marine Shipping and Hydrography.[4] In August 2012, the projects were acquired by Ørsted (then named DONG Energy).[2]

The combined capacity of the three projects will be up to 900 MW.[2] Gode 1 has a capacity of 332 MW, Gode 2 has a capacity of 252 MW, and Gode 3 has a capacity of 250 MW, receiving €81/MWh.[3] Originally REpower Systems was to supply 54 6-MW turbines for Gode 1 and Vestas was to supply 84 3-MWturbines for Gode 2. These deals were re-tendered by Ørsted S,[5][6] which has contracted 154 direct-drive 6MW turbines from Siemens Wind Power.[7][8] The cable connection is 900 MW HVDC, capable of connecting other wind farms,[9] and connection to shore grid is guaranteed by TenneT.[10] The underwater noise was monitored during construction.[11] The platform called Dolwin Beta was installed in August 2015.[12]

Gode Wind 1 & 2
On 18 November 2013, Ørsted announced the decision to invest €2.2 billion in Gode 1 & 2. The wind farm is eligible for the Stauchungsmodell support regime, and the electricity price is fixed for 10 years.[10][13] Bladt Industries will supply the foundations, with a diameter of 6 meters.[14] Gode 1 & 2 consist of a total of 97 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines generating up to 582 MW.[15] These two projects were officially commissioned in June 2017.[16] Gode Wind 3 uses 11 MW turbines.[3]
On 24 April 2023, general cargo ship Petra L collided with a wind turbine at Orsted’s Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm. No persons were injured in the incident. Further investigations have already been launched. The cargo ship itself did not directly contact the maritime surveillance, but Orsted’s in-house control center has documented the incident. The offshore wind turbine involved has been taken out of operation for further investigation,” a spokesperson for Ørsted Wind said.[17]
