E.ON to invest €1.9 bln in U.K. offshore wind farm

May 18, 2015 evwind

E.ON will invest approximately 1.9 billion euros ($2.2 billion) in the construction of offshore wind farm Rampion in the U.K.

Situated 13 kilometers off the Sussex coast at its nearest point, the project is comprised of 116 3.45 megawatt wind turbines, associated foundations, an offshore substation and cabling. It will have the capacity to generate 400 megawatts of electricity and is expected to generate 1,300 gigawatt hours of renewable energy annually, enough to supply the equivalent of up to 300,000 homes and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 600,000 metric tons a year, E.ON said.

E.ON will provide construction, operations and maintenance as well as energy management services to the project. This includes the delivery of the connection to the National Grid with marine export cables to shore, approximately 26 kilometers of onshore cables and onshore grid substation assets. E.ON will divest these offshore transmission assets under a regulated sales process.

U.K.’s Green Investment Bank PLC, or GIB, a leading investor in the U.K.’s offshore wind industry, has acquired a EUR327 million stake in the project, E.ON said.

SIEMENS gagne 580 MW de commande en éoliennes de 6 MW de la part de DONG Energy pou équipper le parc offshore de Race Bank.
D'apré un analyste de Bloomberg ca pourrait représenter une commande de 1.2 milliards de $.

Siemens Awarded Possible $1.2 Billion Wind Turbine Order

July 7th, 2015 by Joshua S Hill cleantechnica.com

Siemens has been awarded a wind turbine order for 580 MW by DONG Energy for the Race Bank wind power plant which could be worth up to $1.2 billion.

Siemens will provide 91 of its 6 MW direct drive wind turbines to the Race Bank offshore wind power project, set to be located approximately 32 kilometers off the British eastern coast. Upon completion, which is set for the beginning of 2018, the 580 MW project will generate enough electricity to supply approximately 400,000 British households.

siemens offshore wind turbineThe 154 meter turbines are slated to undergo installation beginning spring 2017, with the Race Bank park spreading out over a 62 square kilometer area, in depths between 6 and 26 meters.

“We are pleased that DONG Energy has once again chosen our 6 MW direct drive wind turbine, the workhorse for offshore wind power plants,” said Michael Hannibal, CEO Offshore of the Wind Power and Renewables Division at Siemens. “We are working hard to bring the costs of offshore wind energy down to make it competitive with other sources of power generation.”

Specifically, Siemens notes that recent analysis shows the cost of offshore wind energy has fallen by 11%, according to a study published by RenewableUK. “Thus, the offshore industry is fully on track to meet the 2020 cost targets,” added Hannibal.

Commenting on the project, a Bloomberg New Energy Finance analyst suggested that the deal between Siemens and DONG Energy could be worth as much as $1.2 billion. Tom Harries, a BNEF analyst, said that the total project cost could be as much as $2.6 billion, with the specific deal between Siemens and DONG Energy for the wind turbines accounting for $1.2 billion “on today’s costs.”

Offshore wind farm EnBW Baltic 2 officially put into operation

Karlsruhe/Stralsund - 2015-09-21

In the presence of the Minister President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Erwin Sellering, and numerous guests from the worlds of business and politics, EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG has officially put its second offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea into operation.

..............
EnBW Baltic 2 is located 32 kilometres to the north of the island of Rügen. 80 wind turbines with a total output of 288 megawatts have been installed over an area of 27 square kilometres. The offshore wind farm will generate 1.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year and cover the aggregate requirements of 340,000 households while saving 900,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2).

The 80 Siemens SWT-3.6-120 wind turbines rise 138 metres above the surface of the water. Depending on the depth of the water, they have been erected on different foundations: Monopiles have been used for water depths of up to 35 metres, while three-legged jackets have been utilised at depths of over 35 metres. The substation forms the heart of EnBW Baltic 2. The electricity from the individual wind turbines flows into the substation where it is transformed to a higher voltage and transported to the mainland to be fed into the integrated German electricity network. The yellow substation is 15 metres high, 25 metres long and weighs a total of 4,500 tonnes including the foundations. More than 83 kilometres of undersea cables connect the individual wind turbines to the substation.

Chinese and EDP Renováveis join forces to build wind farm capable of supplying power to 700,000 homes

October 21, 2015 evwind

The largest offshore wind farm so far authorised for Scottish waters is to be jointly developed by a state-owned Chinese company and Portugal’s largest renewables firm. EDP Renováveis, a subsidiary of power firm Energias de Portugal, has announced it has signed an accord with China Three Gorges Corporation for the joint development of the huge wind farm project planned for the Outer Moray Firth in the North Sea.

China Three Gorges is already the biggest shareholder in EDP, the largest industrial company in Portugal with 12,000 employees. Now the two firms will jointly invest in Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd (MORL) which has Scottish Government consent for the construction and operation of 1,116 MW of offshore wind generation in the Telford, Stevenson and MacColl offshore wind farms in the Outer Moray Firth.

Once fully operational, the three farms will be capable of supplying power to the equivalent of around 700,000 homes, making it currently the second-largest offshore wind farm in the UK to have received consent.

Up to 186 giant wind turbines are planned for the farms some 14 miles (22km) from the Caithness coastline, with up to 2,400 jobs being created at the peak of construction.
