German North Sea platforms 'will not be finished this year'

The 576MW HelWin1 platform will harness RWE’s Nordsee Ost and Blackstone’s Meerwind, while the 800MW BorWin2 will link up Windreich’s Global Tech 1.

Both are significantly behind schedule, and represent critical bottlenecks for the German offshore sector in the immediate term.

Most of the initial blame for the delays was placed at the door of TenneT, the transmission system operator (TSO) for the German North Sea.
