Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has been awarded the "full-scope" contract to supply sixteen 7MW turbines, monopile foundations and grid connection for EnBW’s 112MW Albatros project in the German North Sea.
The Albatros will be the first in German waters to use Siemens’ Offshore Transformer Module (OTM), a slimline cost-cutting substation that will sit atop a single monopile foundation. The project will be built at the same time as the neighbouring 497MW EnBW Hohe See wind farm, which is also being supplied by Siemens, offering synergies in planning, construction and operation.
