Siemens Gamesa to supply DONG Energy with 94 8-megawatt wind turbines
From CNBC
Siemens Gamesa has announced it has signed an agreement with DONG Energy to supply 94 wind turbines – amounting to 752 megawatts – for the Borssele 1 and 2 offshore wind power plant.
The facility, being developed in Dutch waters, is set to be commissioned in 2020 and will provide enough power to meet the yearly energy needs of one million homes, Siemens Gamesa said.
“With the signing of the wind turbine contract, we pass a key milestone in this project, which will be a landmark in the Netherlands’ shift to renewable energy,” Jasper Vis, country manager for DONG Energy Netherlands, said. “This is an important step on our way to reducing the cost of renewable electricity in the Netherlands.”
Towards the end of June, DONG Energy announced the inauguration of the Gode Wind 1 and 2 offshore wind farms, situated 45 kilometers off the coast of Germany.
