Pioneering Offshore Wind in Germany

Johannes Dimas has been at the forefront of Germany's offshore wind energy sector, having coordinated environmental impact assessments and co-authored approval applications for some of the country's first offshore wind farm projects, including the DanTysk project. He also planned and supervised the initial drilling for wind farm developments in the Baltic Sea and played a key role in the construction of Germany's first offshore wind research platform in 2002.

At Vattenfall Europe, Johannes was responsible for onshore wind energy installations. In 2005, he collaborated with headquarters to design Vattenfall Europe's Offshore Strategy, which laid the foundation for the company's successful entry into the offshore wind market. This involved several major offshore project transactions, including the DanTysk and alpha ventus projects, as well as contributing to the decarbonization of the utility. In a joint venture with E.ON and EWE AG, he led the Vattenfall team for alpha ventus, Germany’s first deep-water wind farm, which has been operational since 2009.

Among his many accomplishments, Johannes served as Project Director for Vattenfall’s first offshore high-voltage grid connection for the Baltic 1 wind farm, and as Technical-Commercial Project Coordinator for the Trianel Borkum I project. For the turbine installation at Trianel Borkum I, he was appointed to the Technical Project Coordinator Installation Campaign. After installation was accomplished, he took over the business and portfolio development at Trianel's Hamburg division and was the Technical Project Director of Trianel Borkum II offshore wind farm up to achieving the successful joint venture with with EWE AG.

Most recently, Johannes acted as technical advisor to the lenders of the two operational North Sea wind farms Borkum Riffgrund 2 and Gode Wind 1. Furthermore, he supported the development and award of the foundations and transition pieces contracts for the Gennaker project in the German Baltic Sea.
