EWE awards Deutsche Windtechnik a contract to provide maintenance for 30 Siemens SWT-3.6-120 wind turbines at the Riffgat offshore wind farm as part of an EU tender procedure that was initiated by EWE Offshore Service und Solutions GmbH.
The contract begins in June 2019. The contract includes basic maintenance, troubleshooting, remote fault elimination, spare parts management, maintenance of safety equipment and testing of electrical equipment in accordance with DGUV V3.

The Riffgat offshore wind farm, which was built by EWE in 2013 and started operation in early 2014 is the first commercially operated wind farm in the German North Sea.
