Rentel is an offshore wind farm located in the Belgian part of the North Sea. The wind farm consists of 42 Siemens wind turbines with a capacity of 7.35 MW each, giving the farm a total capacity of 309 MW. The wind farm was fully operational in late 2018. It is the fifth offshore wind project in the Belgian North Sea.[1][2] It has a cable to shore, but is also connected to the Modular Offshore Grid. After its shorecable was damaged in January 2024, it continued sending limited power via the MOG cable.[3]
