Gode Wind 1, 2, and 3 are offshore wind farm projects located north-west of Norderney in the German sector of North Sea. The projects are developed by Dong Energy.

The projects were originally developed by PNE Wind AG who had received approvals for Gode Wind 1 and 2 from Germany's Federal Agency for Marine Shipping and Hydrography. In August 2012, the projects were acquired by Dong Energy.
Planning
The combined capacity of the three projects is up to 900 MW. Gode 1 will have a capacity of 332 MW, Gode 2 will have a capacity of 252 MW, and Gode 3 will have a capacity of 316 MW. Originally REpower Systems was to supply 54 6-MW turbines for Gode 1 and Vestas was to supply 84 3-MWturbines for Gode 2. These deals were re-tendered by Dong Energy, and DONG Energy has contracted 154 direct-drive 6MW turbines from Siemens Wind Power. The cable connection is 900 MW HVDC, capable of connecting other wind farms, and connection to shore grid is guaranteed by TenneT. The platform called Dolwin Beta was installed in August 2015.
Gode Wind 1 & 2
On 18 November 2013, DONG announced the decision to invest €2.2 billion in Gode 1 & 2. It is expected to be fully operational in 2016. The wind farm is eligible for the Stauchungsmodell support regime, and the electricity price is fixed for 10 years. Bladt Industries will supply the foundations, with a diameter of 6 meters. Gode 1 & 2 will consist of a total of 97 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines generating up to 582 MW.
