Luxcara has confirmed it has secured a 1500MW project zone in the North Sea in the latest German offshore wind auction.
Luxcara’s Waterekke Energy GmbH won the right based off of social and ecological criteria, the company said.
The site, known as N-9.3, is located in the German North Sea’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), 85 km northwest of the German island of Helgoland.
Significant milestones for the site, including comprehensive geotechnical and environmental investigations, have already been completed, which will allow the project to be connected to the national transmission grid as early as 2029, Luxcara said.
“Luxcara’s repeated success in this type of tender with a focus on qualitative criteria underlines our ability to structure complex projects,” Luxcara Project Director Holger Matthiesen said.
“This manifests our holistic approach which on the one hand values the entire construction supply chain and on the other hand considers the subsequent best use of the electricity to e.g. produce green hydrogen, from the outset.”
