Siemens Gamesa has signed a new preferential agreement with the Ørsted energy group for the supply of 1,142 MW in two offshore projects located in the North Sea: Borkum Riffgrund 3, which will be Germany's largest offshore park with 900 MW, and Gode Wind 3, with 242 MW. In both projects, the company will install its new offshore turbine model SG 11.0-200 DD, with a 200-meter diameter rotor.
The agreement, which also includes the maintenance of both parks for five years, is subject to certain conditions, such as the final investment decision, which in turn depends on receiving the necessary permits from the German authorities.
The final number of turbines that will be installed in both projects is yet to be determined. Ørsted expects that the installation of the GodeWind 3 park will begin in 2023 and that its commissioning will be completed in 2024. The installation of BorkumRiffgrund 3 will begin in 2024 and it will be operational in 2025.
Once underway, these projects will be able to supply 1.2 million German homes with clean energy and prevent the emission of 3.7 million tons of CO2 annually.
