Siemens Gamesa seals gigawatt-scale order for Baltic Sea wind farm
Partners seal wind turbine deal for huge wind farm project that will boost German renewable energy goals
Siemens Gamesa has sealed a gigawatt-scale order of its 14MW turbines for what will be one of the largest offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea.
Skyborn Renewables announced today that it has signed a turbine supply and service agreement with Siemens Gamesa for 62 of its SG 14-236 wind turbines for its 976.5MW Gennaker project in the German Baltic.
Skyborn CEO Patrick Lammers said the deal is “another step towards Gennaker’s commissioning”.
“Gennaker, our blueprint project, is the showcase of our end-to-end delivery capabilities, with standardised process to bring new offshore wind projects to life every 12 to 18 months,” he added.
Skyborn claims that Gennaker will be the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
Gennaker is advancing on a subsidy-free basis at a site 15km offshore within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea.
Marc Becker, senior vice president of Siemens Gamesa for offshore adds: “We have successfully partnered with Skyborn on four offshore wind projects across France, Taiwan, and Germany. With Gennaker, our joint portfolio will surpass 3GW of clean energy capacity.”
“As the project moves toward final investment decision, we stand ready to deliver our SG 14-236 workhorse turbine, already backed by a robust order book exceeding 16GW.”
