Siemens Gamesa has confirmed an order for 11MW turbines for Orsted’s 242MW Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The manufacturer will deliver 23 11.0-200 DD machines to the project, situated 40km from shore due north of the island of Norderney on the German-Dutch border.
A five-year service agreement is also included in the order.
The nacelles will be produced in Cuxhaven, Germany.
Siemens Gamesa Offshore Business Unit chief executive Marc Becker said: “We are delighted to be working with Orsted on the Gode Wind 3 offshore wind power plant.
“This project is significant as it introduces the SG 11.0-200 DD to the German market, allowing us to serve the country on several fronts.
“We are able to contribute to Germany’s energy transition by providing our proven offshore direct drive technology, and we can ensure local value creation from the nacelles being produced in Cuxhaven.”
“We are ready and energized to address the climate emergency and contribute our part to achieving the new ambitious goals for offshore wind in Germany.”
The machine features a 200-meter diameter rotor utilizing the 97-metre long Siemens Gamesa B97 IntegralBlades.
Gode Wind 3 is expected to be fully commissioned in 2024 and to serve around 250,000 German households with clean, green energy.
