The 12 turbine offshore development flowed an average 253.14GWh a year between 2011-13, beating forecast output by around 10%, and operating at a capacity factor of 48.1%.
Production last year slipped to 224.6GWh due to a combination of lower winds and technical downtime, falling 3.3% below the projected average annual yield.
“Offshore is not yet routine. The economic, safe and environment-friendly operation of an offshore wind farm in the North Sea continues to be our key goal," says Wilfried Hube, chief executive of development operator DOTI, a consortium made up of EWE, E.ON
