Since its launch in spring 2015, the offshore wind farm Nordsee Ost has fed one million megawatt hours of electricity into the power grid. This means the wind farm has achieved its planned annual yield of 1,000 GWh.
The Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa has unveiled the prototype of a new off-grid system. The system, which has a capacity of two megawatts, can supply energy using four different sources. Gamesa is hoping to gain an advantage through this, especially in developing countries.
The first monopile has been driven: Construction work on the wind farm Nordergründe in the North Sea began yesterday. Underwater cable-laying work is now also underway.
What is going to happen to Adwen? The offshore specialist company is getting in the way of Siemens' and Gamesa's merger plans. GE has now expressed interest in the joint venture between Gamesa and Areva.
After approximately 16 months of construction work, the transformer substation for the offshore wind farm Sandbank is now on its way to the construction site 90 kilometres west of Sylt in the German North Sea.
The international corporation GE announced that it has installed more than 30,000 onshore wind turbines in over 35 countries with a total capacity of 50 GW.
Siemens will deliver 102 wind energy plants of the type SWT-7.0-154 for the offshore wind farm East Anglia One. This order by ScottishPower Renewables, a subsidy of Iberdrola S.A., has a volume of 714 MW and is the company’s biggest order so far, when it comes to capacity.
Siemens will deliver 60 direct-drive offshore wind turbines for the Arkona wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. To install the turbines E.ON has chosen Danish A2SEA and its specially designed vessel Sea Challenger.
