Germany - Siemens to deliver 80 wind turbines to EnBW’s Baltic 2 farm

Siemens Energy will supply wind turbines to EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg’s EnBW Erneuerbare Energien for its offshore wind farm EnBW Baltic 2. The two companies have signed a contract for the supply of 80 wind turbines each with a capacity of 3.6 MW and a rotor diameter of 120 metres.

After Baltic 1, Baltic 2 is the second offshore project to be jointly implemented by EnBW and Siemens in the Baltic Sea. EnBW Baltic 2 will be approximately six times bigger than EnBW Baltic 1, said EnBW’s chief technical officer and Member of Management Board Hans-Josef Zimmer.

The farm is located approximately 32 kilometers north of the island of Rügen in the western Baltic and will have a total capacity of 288 MW. EnBW Baltic 2 is scheduled to come on line in 2013 and its first maritime civil works are scheduled to commence as early as 2012. The offshore wind farm will generate 1,200 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually. EnBW is planning to build a total of four offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of approximately 1,200 megawatts in the Baltic and North Sea.
