EnBW plans to build 497MW offshore wind projects in the north sea

Recently, EnBW plans to build a 497MW offshore wind power project in the north sea, while Siemens will provide complete engineering plans, development and infrastructure for the Hohe See offshore wind farm.This is the first time Siemens has expanded its wind power business.

The project's final investment has been completed and construction will begin in early 2018.Wind farms will be located 90 kilometers north of the German city of borkum, and 40 meters in water.

The 71-mw swt-74-154 fan will begin production in the mid-2018, at the new engine room plant in the Siemens port, and will be shipped to the port of the wind farm in early 2019.The blades will be shipped out from the alburg and hull factories in Denmark.

In 2016, Siemens began planning for the EnBW Hohe See wind farm, with a single design of 80 meters and a weight of 1,500 tons, which kept the fan firmly at the bottom of the sea.

Siemens will also work with logistics expert GeoSea on this project.The company is part of the Deme group, which is responsible for basic transportation, including single piles and components.Siemens' expanded business scope helps to mitigate investors' risks.

Siemens has had 25 years of experience in offshore wind power since its first offshore wind farm in 1991.This is the first time that Siemens has covered all the work chains of offshore wind projects.

The Hohe See offshore wind farm is expected to be put into use in the third quarter of 2019, with a supply of 560,000 homes.

After the wind farm was officially launched, Siemens offered a five-year service.In addition, Siemens is responsible for using the BorWin 3 high voltage dc line and the BorWin Gamma converter platform for the grid operator Tennet.
