Global energy company Alstom has commissioned a 288MW AC offshore substation for the Baltic 2 wind farm in Germany.
The EnBW wind farm has 80 turbines and the offshore substation transmits the energy produced to the onshore connection point in Bentwisch near Rostock using a 150 kv-submarine cable.
The turnkey contract included the technical development, design and supply of the electrical components, platform construction, transport as well as the offshore installation of a high voltage offshore substation.
Alstom vice president Gerhard Seyrling said: “The integration of renewable energies plays a key role in the successful implementation of the energy transition.
“With the installation of the offshore substation for EnBW Baltic 2, Alstom has made an important contribution to this transition in Germany. The project opens up another direct access point for wind energy in Germany.”
