Wikinger wind farm – clean energy for thousands
350 MW Iberdola windfarm provides 20% of local power.
After unveiling plans in 2014 to install 70 turbines off the North German coast in the Baltic Sea, Iberdrola reached a new milestone in its history when it connected its impressive 350 MW Wikinger windfarm to the German power grid in late December 2017. At full nominal capacity, they are supplying clean energy to over 350,000 households.

The trial
Finally, the towers have a 60-micron topcoat of Hempathane HS 55610 on both inner and outer surfaces, tinted to Iberdrola’s required colour scheme to ensure they maintain the same level of visibility for shipping and that they complement their surroundings with minimal maintenance over many years.
The Wikinger windfarm is another example of Hempel’s significant position in developing and supplying protective coatings for the offshore market.
