VINCI wins a contract to
design, build and install three
wind-farm energy converter
platforms in the North Sea
- Three offshore windfarm energy
converter platforms for a German operator
- Total capacity of 6 GW
- An overall contract value of €7
billion
The consortium made up of Dragados Offshore – a
subsidiary of Cobra IS – and Siemens Energy has been awarded by
TenneT (the Dutch-German transmission system operator) a contract
to design, build and install the three offshore windfarm energy
converter platforms in the North Sea.
The converter platforms will collect the
alternating current generated by several wind farms and convert it
into high voltage direct current (HVDC) which will then be
reconverted into alternating current at onshore stations
approximately 200 km away in the German towns of Wilhelmshaven
and Heide.
The construction of these converter platforms,
each weighing around 34,000 tonnes, will generate more than 2,000
jobs per platform providing workload until 2031.
This project is part of Germany's Energy
Transition Plan, which calls for the construction of a major
offshore wind power generation network. Dragados Offshore was
recently awarded six other HVDC projects of the same type.
