| Work Detail |
Vattenfall project will be largest in the German North Sea Germanys Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has granted planning approval for Vattenfalls 1GW Nordlicht 1 offshore wind farm. The project is located North of Borkum in the west of Germanys exclusive economic zone, and will consist of a total of 68 15MW turbines. The project will be the largest offshore wind farm in German waters, and will feature monopile foundations at a water depth of 36 to 38 meters. The planned turbines have a rotor diameter of 236 meters. The electricity generated will be fed into the BorWin Kappa converter platform via the NOR-7-2 grid connection system. In August, Vattenfall and steel producer Salzgitter signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for 75MW for a period of 15 years. The PPA is equivalent to 300 gigawatt hours of electricity annually for steelmaking processes. Vattenfall has lined up Vestas to supply V236-15.0MW turbines for the project. |
