Butendiek wind farm is a wind farm in Germany with a capacity of 288 MW, commissioned in 2015. It is operating and is owned by wpd.
In 2024 it settled 750.1 GWh of electricity, a load factor of 29.7%. Part of that volume was sold outside EEG support, so it is partly merchant.
Its EEG support runs to the end of 2035, after which that output is sold at market prices.
This asset produced at 29.7% of nameplate in 2024 — the 85th percentile of German wind commissioned 2015-2019 (215 assets with metered output).
