company
will
in
April
start
to
erect
the
plant’s
30
Siemens
3.6MW
turbines,

Foundations

an
export
cable

Water
depths
at
Riffgat
of
18
to
23-metres
are
relatively
shallow
by

offshore
wind,
as
the

15km
north-west
of
the
island
of
Borkum
is
located
closer
to
the
coast
than
other
German
projects,
Hube
told

location
is

facilitating
the
connection
to
the
electricity
grid
via
a
50km
direct
cable
to
the
coast,
unlike
other
German
North
Sea
