In 2001, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) granted the construction permit for the offshore project originally named "Offshore Test Field Borkum-West", later known as alpha ventus. This approval, the first official consent issued by BSH for an offshore wind farm in Germany, authorised development of the test field in the German exclusive economic zone and enabled the alpha ventus offshore wind farm and its associated offshore infrastructure to proceed.
