DONG Energy has decided to construct Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, located in the Greater Wash area, approximately 27 kilometres off the east coast of Britain. Race Bank will have a capacity of up to approximately 580MW and is expected to be fully commissioned in 2018.
The wind farm will be constructed and operate under the UK's ROC scheme (1.8 ROC). Siemens has been chosen as the preferred supplier for the proposed delivery of 91 Siemens 6MW wind turbines with performance enhancing features enabling a capacity of up to approximately 580MW in total. The deployment of Siemens wind turbines is conditional upon the parties signing an agreement.
