The turbine installation campaign at the Nordergründe offshore wind farm started in August 2016 with the installation of the first Senvion 6.2M126 turbine. Power Technology notes that construction of the project began in May 2016 and that the first turbine was successfully installed in August 2016. The project comprises 18 Senvion 6.2M126 machines, each rated at 6.15 MW with a 126 m rotor diameter, giving a total installed capacity of 110.7 MW. The turbines are mounted on monopile foundations in shallow waters up to 10 m deep, roughly 15 km north‑east of Wangerooge Island. The offshore turbine installation work was carried out using the wind turbine installation vessel MPI Enterprise, which installed all 18 units at the site.
