On 8 September 2013, wpd AG announced that it had acquired the offshore wind farm project Nordergründe from Energiekontor AG. The project involves installing 18 wind turbine generators of the 6-megawatt class within the 12‑nautical‑mile zone of the German North Sea, approximately 15 km north‑east of Wangerooge island and north of the city of Wilhelmshaven, in water depths of up to 10 metres. Following the acquisition, wpd planned to commission Nordergründe in 2016 and to use 6 MW offshore wind turbines on a wpd project for the first time.
