EnBW Baltic 2 is an offshore wind farm in the German section of the Kriegers Flak reef in the Baltic Sea. The wind farm uses 80 Siemens SWT 3.6-120 wind turbines for a total capacity of 288 megawatt. Baltic 2 is connected to Germany via Baltic 1, but is also connected to Denmark via the adjacent offshore wind farm ″Kriegers Flak″ in 2020,[1] creating a 400 MW AC offshore grid synchronized to the east Denmark network.[2][3] The cable to Denmark costs €350m, of which €150m comes from the EU.[4]

The €1250 million Baltic 2 produced power in September 2015.[5][6]
