Description

Skyborn Renewables obtained the initial building permit for the Gennaker offshore wind farm in May 2019, granting development consent for a 103‑turbine project using Siemens Gamesa 8–9 MW class machines with a total capacity of around 927 MW. This permit, issued by the German authorities under the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), gave Skyborn exclusive rights to develop the site in the Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern coastal sea, about 15 km north of the Fischland‑Darß‑Zingst peninsula.
