On 28 August 2006, the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) issued the original SeeAnlV Genehmigung to PNE Wind for the construction and operation of the Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (AWZ) of the North Sea, approximately 33 km north of Norderney and 38 km north of Juist in water depths of 26-35 m on a 37 km² project area. The original approval authorised 80 wind turbines with a maximum total capacity of 400 MW. The application had been filed by PNE Wind in 2001. The consent was subsequently amended on 22 November 2010 (to 77 turbines, 462 MW) and on 31 July 2013 (to 55 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines, 440 MW) after Dong Energy (now Ørsted) acquired the project in August 2012. As built, Gode Wind 1 has 55 turbines (330 MW operational); construction began in April 2015 and the wind farm was officially inaugurated on 27 June 2017 at the Danish embassy in Berlin.
