Siemens has received a further order for an offshore wind power plant located in Great Britain: Siemens is to supply, erect and commission 91 of its 6MW direct drive wind turbines with performance enhancing features enabling a capacity of up to approximately 580 MW in total.
The wind turbines with a rotor diameter of 154 meters are slated for the Race Bank project of DONG Energy. Installation of the turbines is to commence during the spring of 2017 and the Race Bank offshore wind power plant is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2018. This order is part of the frame agreement concluded between DONG Energy and Siemens in 2012. Service for the plant will be provided jointly by Siemens and DONG for a period of five years.
