Energy2market and Ørsted have worked together to make the electricity from the wind farm usable as a balancing capacity for the power grid. The prequalification indicated by TenneT was granted and the wind project showed that short-term grid fluctuations could be offset by electricity from offshore wind energy.
In addition, the Borkum Riifrund 1 wind asset is based on the prequalification concept specified by Energy2market. This also convinced the other three German transmission system operators, and the project was approved for all four control areas.
