A 90-turbine, 207 MW wind farm has been completed by Siemens and E.ON in the Baltic Sea six weeks ahead of schedule.
Denmark Siemens Energy erected 90, 2.3 MW, 93-metre-tall turbines for German energy corporation E.ON over 122 days. The two companies are set to collaborate again on the London Array off the coast of the UK, the world’s first gigawatt-class offshore wind plant.
Rødsand II is among the world’s largest offshore wind farms and follows Rødsand I, a 72-turbine wind plant that began operating in a neighbouring location in 2003.
E.ON has invested about €400 million ($554 million) in this wind farm. This year (2010) two other E.ON offshore wind farms have become fully operational: Robin Rigg, which at 180 MW is one of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms, and Germany’s Alpha Ventus, the world’s first far shore, deep water wind farm.
