Our Expertise in Offshore Wind
We made our first investment in offshore wind in 2014, becoming the first Canadian power producer to enter the European market. Today, we are amongst the top producers of offshore wind globally with three operating offshore wind farms in Germany and the Netherlands producing 1.2 GW of generating capacity, and two offshore wind farms in construction in Poland and Taiwan totalling 2.1 GW.

Through offshore wind generation, we harness strong, steady ocean winds to generate electricity through turbines anchored at sea. Power is transmitted to shore through subsea cables. Its scale, consistency, and proximity to coastal cities make offshore wind a cornerstone of renewable energy, supporting global decarbonization efforts and energy security.
Located in the North Sea, 85 KM off Netherland’s coast, the 600 MW Gemini offshore wind project marked our first strategic investment in offshore wind. Completed in 2017 alongside Siemens and local partners, Gemini became one of the largest offshore wind projects in the world and stands as our largest operating facility in Europe. This project was the foundation of Northland’s expertise in offshore wind, opening the door for further growth in large-scale development throughout Europe, including Germany and Poland.
Since 2017, our Nordsee One offshore wind farm has been delivering strong returns powered by steady North Sea winds. Behind this performance is the dedication of our teams, who prioritize the reliable and safe performance of the wind farm. In July 2025, we completed the first-ever single blade exchange since commissioning the wind farm, marking a major technical milestone. This operation required precise planning, close coordination between all involved teams, and favourable weather conditions – all managed and overseen by our experienced local operations team.
