Offshore Windfarm Danysk is a 284 MW wind power station in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is operated by Vattenfall Europe Windkraft GmbH / Stadtwerke München GmbH. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 242,016 homes (estimated). It ranks #98 of 1,369 Germany power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2015, it is around 11 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 27.2% of Germany's electricity; the national grid averages 330 gCO₂/kWh (59.1% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
The #10 largest wind power plant of 25 in Germany by capacity.
Germany has 25 wind power plants in this dataset, together about 5,059 MW of capacity.
