Nordsee Ost to get 48 6M turbines

9 March 2010


REpower Systems and the RWE project company for Nordsee Ost wind farm have concluded a contract for the delivery of 48x6M 6MW offshore wind turbines to the Nordsee Ost site. The 6M is based on the technology of the company’s 5M unit. The wind farm will have a total capacity of 295 MW and is due to be built between 2011 and 2013 in the German Bight in an area situated about 22 miles (35 km) north of the island of Helgoland, at a depth of 22 to 25 m. The first turbines should start running in mid 2012.

Nordsee Ost is the first project under the framework agreement concluded between REpower and RWE Innogy in February 2009 – one of the biggest in the history of the wind power sector – for the delivery of up to 250 offshore turbines of the type REpower 5M/6M. REpower will supply the nacelles and hubs after manufacturing them at the company's offshore production facility in Bremerhaven and will also supply the rotor blades and towers for the project. REpower will also be responsible for the start-up of the wind farm and for maintenance. Nordsee Ost is being co-funded by the European Commission under the EEPR-programme.
