New Alpha Ventus Owner Hires Deutsche Windtechnik for Service and Maintenance of Germany’s First Offshore Wind Farm

Deutsche Windtechnik has secured a service and maintenance contract for all twelve turbines at Germany’s 60 MW alpha ventus offshore wind farm, with work set to begin in January 2027.

The contract was awarded by Ocean Breeze Energy, which is taking over the wind farm from its previous owners EWE, RWE and Vattenfall. Deutsche Windtechnik will initially handle turbine maintenance, troubleshooting and related technical support. From September 2027, the scope will expand to include remote monitoring, offshore control centre services, grid management and 24/7 alarm handling.

The contract covers all six Senvion 5M and six AREVA Multibrid M5000 turbines at alpha ventus, which is located approximately 45 kilometres north of Borkum in the German North Sea. Commissioned in 2010, the 60 MW project was Germany’s first offshore wind farm.

Deutsche Windtechnik previously provided maintenance services at alpha ventus, looking after the six Senvion turbines from 2017 and taking on the six AREVA Multibrid turbines in early 2020. Those contracts ended in December 2024.
