Canadian outfit Enbridge has acquired a 49.9% stake in EnBW’s 112MW Albatros project in the German North Sea.
Earlier this year, the two companies agreed on a similar deal for the 497MW Hohe See project.
The partners will cooperate during construction, with EnBW set to operate the two wind farms.
EnBW reached a deal with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy over the supply and installation of 87 SWT-7.0-154 turbines and monopile foundations for the projects, which will be located some 90km north of the island of Borkum.
The order combines the supply and installation of both foundations and turbines in one contract.
DEME Group’s offshore marine engineering division GeoSea has been tapped by Siemens to supply foundations, while Fred Olsen Windcarrier will transport and install the turbines.
VBMS has secured an inter-array cabling contract for the projects. The deal covers supply, installation, burial, termination and testing of the cables.
Albatros will also be equipped with an OTM substation.
Hohe See and Albatros are scheduled to be fully commissioned in 2019.
