EnBW Baltic 1 is the first commercial offshore wind farm of Germany in the Baltic Sea. Siemens supplied 21 SWT 2.3-93 wind turbines for the 48.3 megawatt wind farm.[1] EnBW Baltic 1 is located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of the Darss-Zingst Peninsula and covers about seven square kilometers. Work started in July 2010;[2][3] the wind farm was officially commissioned on 2 May 2011.[4]

Due to the Kriegers Flak Combined Grid Solution, power from Sweden (via Zealand), the 600 MW Kriegers Flak, the 288 MW Baltic 2 is sent via Baltic 1 to Germany, and is synchronized to the Nordic grid (not the German grid) via a 150 kV 400 MW alternating current subsea cable.[5][6]
