Global Tech I Offshore Wind GmbH

Global Tech I Offshore Wind GmbH is a leading player in the field of renewable energies and operates the 400 Megawatt offshore wind farm Global Tech I in the German North Sea. Founded as one of the first commercial offshore wind farms, the operation and business of the wind farm are managed from Hamburg[2][4].

The offshore wind farm Global Tech I produces enough electricity to supply approximately 450,000 households annually with green power. The wind farm consists of wind turbines with a capacity of 5 MW each and rotors with a diameter of 116 meters. The turbines operate at full load starting from a wind speed of 12.5 m/s[2].

The main mission of Global Tech I Offshore Wind GmbH is to play a significant role in the energy transition by producing sustainable and climate-friendly energy. The company places great importance on collaboration between the teams onshore and offshore to ensure the complex operation of the offshore wind farm is safe and efficient. Close cooperation and the commitment of a strong team are central values of the company[2][4].

Global Tech I Offshore Wind GmbH is deeply rooted in sustainability initiatives. Since its commissioning in 2015 until June 2024, the wind farm has saved significant amounts of CO2 emissions. The company works closely with strong partners such as the Munich City Utilities (SWM) and ENTEGA, who are committed to expanding renewable energies. These partners pursue ambitious goals, such as covering the entire electricity demand of Munich with green electricity by 2025[2][4].

The company employs around 80 people, of which about 30 are in the offshore team. The operations control center in Hamburg monitors the overall operation of the wind farm, grid operation management, and sea space and weather observation. The close cooperation between the teams both at sea and on land is crucial for the successful operation of the wind farm[4].

Through their work, they not only contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions but also make a significant contribution to climate protection and sustainable energy supply.
