Nysted Wind Farm

Gravity base foundations are used rather than piles due to ice conditions.

[3] Rødsand I was built in 2003, with 72 turbines and a total capacity of 166 MW, and was the largest in the world until 2007.

[4] Annual production is some 570 GW·h, the equivalent to the electricity consumption of 140,000 Danish homes, which could save 500,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

[7] In 2010, a 207 MW extension of the existing wind farm was installed by E.ON at a stated cost of EUR450m[8] and a power purchase agreement at DKK 0.629 per kW·h (US$0.12/kW·h).

[12] On 3 August, E.ON reported that the wind farm was ready and went into operation, three months ahead of schedule.
