Senvion has installed 111 multi-megawatt turbines offshore

The company reached this milestone  with  the  nineteenth  Senvion  6.2M126  of  48 planned  turbines  that  are currently  being installed  at  the  Nordsee  Ost  offshore  wind  farm.  The  additional  29  turbines  for  Nordsee  Ost are already pre-assembled apart from the blades, so theinstallation can be completed in autumn. Then, Senvion  will have delivered more than 800 megawattsof installed capacity  offshore and will be the company with the most multi-megawatt turbines installed worldwide. With the 20 turbines installed on land, Senvion now has an offshore fleet with a total operating life of over 350 years – and can thus offer more experience than any other manufacturer.

Andreas Nauen, CEO of Senvion SE,says: “We have managed to install 19 turbines for  Nordsee Ost in just ten weeks. This cements our position asthe strong number two in the offshore market. And we are again showing pioneer spirit: Not only are we applying another assembly method with singleblade assembly offshore, we are also installing ourown PowerBlades at sea for the first time.”

Senvion was the first company to bring a 5 megawattturbine to market; the prototype was erected in 2004. The Senvion 6.2M126 is the world’s most powerful mass-produced offshore turbine. This year, Senvion  will  install  the  prototype  of  its  newest  offshore  turbine:  With  the  Senvion  6.2M152,  the company is again setting standards in the cost-effective generation of offshore wind energy. Thanks to the larger rotor diameter of 152 metres compared tothe Senvion 6.2M126’s 126 metres, the energy yield  at  wind  speeds  of  9.5 metres  per  second  is  increased  - by  up  to  20  per  cent.  The  workshop commissioning of the prototype has already been completed successfully.
