Nordsee One is an offshore wind farm in the German part of the North Sea.

It has a nameplate capacity of 332 MW and was commissioned in 2017.{{cite news|title=Nordsee One offshore wind project begins generating power|url=http://www.windpowerengineering.com/business-news-projects/nordsee-one-offshore-wind-project-begins-generating-power/ |accessdate=6 November 2017|work=Windpower Engineering & Development}}

It uses 54 Senvion 6.2M126 wind turbines that are expected to produce 1200 GWh of electricity annually. The wind farm is owned by Northland Power (85%) and Innogy (15%).

Offshore construction began in December 2015.[http://www.hydroworld.com/marketwired/2015/12/16/first-foundation-for-nordsee-one-offshore-wind-project-successfully-installed.html First Foundation for Nordsee One Offshore Wind Project Successfully Installed] {{webarchive|url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160111215604/http://www.hydroworld.com/marketwired/2015/12/16/first-foundation-for-nordsee-one-offshore-wind-project-successfully-installed.html |date=2016-01-11 }}. Retrieved 11 January 2016. All 54 turbines were scheduled to have their rotor shaft main bearings replaced during 2021-2022.{{cite web |title=Major Turbine Component Exchange Starts at Nordsee One Offshore Wind Farm |url=https://www.offshorewind.biz/2022/04/20/major-turbine-component-exchange-starts-at-nordsee-one-offshore-wind-farm/ |website=Offshore Wind |date=20 April 2022}}

The Innogy Nordsee 1 project was originally developed by ENOVA. In 2008, it was acquired by RWE Innogy.[http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2009/01/rwe-innogy-acquires-rights-to-build-960-mw-offshore-wind-farm-54607 RWE Innogy Acquires Rights To Build 960-MW Offshore Wind Farm, January 28, 2009] The construction permit for Innogy Nordsee 1 was issued on 4 April 2012.[http://www.offshorewind.biz/2012/04/04/germany-rwe-receives-permit-for-innogy-nordsee-1-offshore-wind-farm/ Germany: RWE Receives Permit for Innogy Nordsee 1 Offshore Wind Farm, April 4, 2012] In December of 2017 Nordsee 1 began commercial operation.{{Cite web |title=Nordsee One - Offshore Wind Farm in the North Sea |url=https://www.nordseeone.com/ |access-date=2022-09-18 |website=www.nordseeone.com}}

Anniversary December 18th

In December 2018, it celebrated its first year of full commercial operation. The 332 MW wind farm has been producing green electricity to nearly 400,000 German consumers and has been energetically amortized, recovering the energy consumed for component production and installation in less than a year. {{Cite web |title=December 2018 |url=https://www.nordseeone.com/press/news/104-december-2018.html |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=www.nordseeone.com}}
