RWE approves €1bn for Germany’s Nordsee Ost offshore project
Friday, February 5th, 2010The 295-megawatt (MW) Nordsee Ost project will be installed using RWE’s own construction vessel, currently being built for around €100m by Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. RWE has the option to purchase two more such vessels under a deal inked in December 2009.
Nordsee Ost will also be the first major European offshore wind farm to utilise REpower’s 6M turbines, rated at 6.15MW each. The turbines will be the first delivered under the €2bn framework agreement clinched between REpower and RWE in February – one of the largest in the history of the wind-energy industry.
RWE has one of the most formidable offshore wind project pipelines in the world. Along with Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) it is one of just two firms to have its name attached to more than one Round 3 offshore zones in UK waters.
