Kaskasi consists of 38 turbines (Siemens Gamesa 9MW) and has an installed capacity of 342MW.
Located 35 km off the coast of Heligoland (North Sea), next to RWE's Offshore wind farms Amrumbank West and Nordsee Ost.
Since its commissioning end of 2022, Kaskasi offshore wind farm is capable to supply the equivalent of approximately 400,000 households with green electricity.

Commissioning
RWE is driving the technological research of the offshore wind industry and is testing innovative foundations, an innovative installation technique and recyclable rotor blades at its Kaskasi offshore wind farm.
An innovative foundation technology is celebrating its premiere at RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm: For the first time ever in the renewables industry special collars were installed around the monopile foundation at seabed level. The ‘collared monopile’ is a design based on a RWE patent.
In the research project "VISSKA" the partners want to develop forecast models for installing monopiles using the vibro pilling method, the associated noise emissions, and to validate these models through measurements in offshore conditions.
The 81-meter long blades contain a new type of resin whose chemical structure enables efficient seperation of this resin from other components. After the wind turbines have been dismantled at the end of their live cycle, the materials protected by the process can thus be reused, e.g. in the automotive industry or in consumer goods. This further paves the way for the complete recyclability of wind turbines.
