The EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm was officially placed into operation on 21 September 2015. Located 32 km north of the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea and covering an area of about 27 km², the project comprises 80 Siemens SWT‑3.6‑120 turbines on a mix of monopile and jacket foundations in water depths of 23–44 metres. With a total installed capacity of 288 MW, Baltic 2 entered full commercial service supplying enough electricity for around 340,000 households per year and avoiding approximately 900,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, according to EnBW and 50Hertz.
