RWE has officially opened a new offshore wind control centre in Jemgum, Germany, which will monitor and operate the company's offshore wind farms across Germany and Europe 24/7.


The new facility, developed by Real Immobilien, will initially oversee five offshore wind farms and has been designed to support RWE's future offshore wind expansion.


Around 50 RWE employees will be based at the site, with the company planning to recruit additional operational staff from within the region.

The 1,120-square metre building includes a dedicated control room, office space and meeting facilities. Derk Niklas Janssen, RWE Site Manager said: “We are delighted to have found our new home port here in Jemgum. This new facility provides a modern and ideal work environment for our employees.”


The building has been designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating recycled construction materials, rooftop solar panels and water-saving measures, ensuring the highest standards.

RWE said the investment reflects the growing importance of onshore operational infrastructure as Europe's offshore wind developments continue to grow.
