Senvion is delivering 18 wind turbines for the Nordergründe offshore wind farm in Germany’s North Sea. The project is being erected by wpd offshore GmbH within the 12-sea mile zone at the mouth of the Weser, about 40 kilometres northwest of Bremerhaven.
The companies signed a contract for delivery, installation and commissioning of the 18 Senvion 6.2M126 turbines. Each turbine has a rated power of 6.15MW. After the planned completion in autumn 2016, the Nordergründe offshore wind farm will have an installed capacity of approximately 111MW. The turbines and rotor blades are produced by Senvion and PowerBlades in Bremerhaven. From there, the components can be transported directly to their destination by sea. The nacelle will be assembled offshore at a hub height between 97 and 100 metres. Each rotor blade is more than 60 metres long and weighs about 23 tonnes. The rotor star has a diameter of 126 metres.
