Siemens will install, connect and commission the turbines, rated at 3.6 megawatts (MW) each, and perform maintenance for five years.
“Offshore wind power is now finally picking up impetus in Germany too,” says René Umlauft, chief executive of Siemens’ renewables division.
Siemens has seen more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of its offshore turbines successfully installed, and boasts an order backlog of 3GW.
