This week: Germany - Windreich and TenneT agree on interim connections for offshore wind farm
The Windreich Group, which comprises of British Wind Energy GmbH and
TenneT TSO GmbH, has signed an agreement for the production of a
temporary grid connection of the offshore wind farm, "Deutsche Bucht ".
Subsequently, the wind farm Deutsche Bucht will be connected to the
already commissioned grid connection, BorWin2 by TenneT to serve as a
temporary solution in order to generate power until the originally
intended wind farm grid connection, BorWin4, is completed.
The primary legitimate offshore wind farms are Veja Mate and also the
400 MW wind farm Global Tech I initiated by Windreich AG. After the grid
connection BorWin4 is completed, the wind farm Deutsche Bucht is to be
integrated to these connections in full power.
In addition, it was also agreed upon to settle the ongoing litigations.
Under this agreement, a timely construction and commissioning of the
third Windreich`s wind farm Deutsche Bucht in 2015 is secured, reckons
Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing. (FH) Willi Balz.
The CEO of Windreich AG states: "Our common interest in contract
negotiations was to successfully contribute to the implementation of the
energy transition, to which billions of euros have been invested from
both companies respectively". Lex Hartman, a member of the Board of
TenneT also stresses out: "We want to promote the development of
offshore wind energy, so that the objectives of the energy transition
can be achieved. I am therefore delighted that together with Windreich
AG, we have quickly and constructively found a pragmatic solution for
the wind farm Deutsche Bucht".
The installation, commissioning and acceptance of the converter
stations, cable conduction and installation of the AC cable will
continue to be managed under the responsibility of TenneT TSO. These
regulations shall not be affected by the temporary grid connectivity.
