The projects were originally developed by PNE Wind AG who had received approvals for Gode Wind 1 and 2 from Germany's Federal Agency for Marine Shipping and Hydrography.[http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2009/07/pne-wind-gets-approval-for-800-mw-offshore-wind-farm PNE's Gode II Offshore Wind Farm Approved] In August 2012, the projects were acquired by Ørsted (then named DONG Energy).

The combined capacity of the three projects will be up to 900 MW.
Gode 1 has a capacity of 332 MW, Gode 2 has a capacity of 252 MW, and Gode 3 has a capacity of 250 MW, receiving €81/MWh.
Originally REpower Systems was to supply 54 6-MW turbines for Gode 1 and Vestas was to supply 84 3-MWturbines for Gode 2.

On 24 April 2023, general cargo ship Petra L collided with a wind turbine at Orsted’s Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm. No persons were injured in the incident. Further investigations have already been launched. The cargo ship itself did not directly contact the maritime surveillance, but Orsted’s in-house control center has documented the incident. The offshore wind turbine involved has been taken out of operation for further investigation,” a spokesperson for Ørsted Wind said.{{cite web |last1=Mandra |first1=Jasmina Ovcina |title=Cargo ship strikes turbine at Orsted's Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm, suffers massive damage |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/cargo-ship-strikes-orsteds-gode-wind-1-offshore-wind-farm-suffers-massive-damage/ |website=Offshore Energy |date=27 April 2023}}
