The wind farm is being built in a wind concentration zone area of about 345ha, next to the Garzweiler open-cast mine.
RWE installed the 200m, 3.2MW initial wind turbine on top of the hybrid tower at a height of 143m.
The wind farm, which will have an installed capacity of over 38MW, is being jointly developed by the city of Bedburg and RWE.
The city owns 49% stake in the project and the remaining interest is held by RWE.
The wind farm, which has a total annual production volume of more than 118,000 megawatt hours, will deliver enough energy for about 33,000 households per year.
RWE Innogy project manager Boris Ossadnik said: "We are fully on target. Construction work started in March and now we already have all foundations as well as ten concrete towers in place.
"With the installation of the first wind turbine completed in only two days, we are planning to install another one or two wind turbines each week.
"In parallel, the turbines will be connected to the grid and be successively taken into operation so that according to our current plans, all twelve wind turbines of the first construction stage will be ready to supply electricity by the end of the year."
