16 April: The largest offshore wind farm in the Baltic opens. 25 kilometers north east of Rügen, the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea went online. It has an installed capacity of 385 Megawatt, enough to supply 400,000 households. Renewable energy has now moved from a niche to the centre stage of power supply said the Chancellor at the official opening.
