Siemens Gamesa has signed agreements with Skyborn Renewables for the supply of turbines for the Gennaker offshore wind farm in Germany.
Under the agreements, Siemens Gamesa will supply the 976.5MW offshore wind project with 63 SG 14-236 turbines (pictured) and provide long-term maintenance.
Both the turbine supply agreement (TSA) and offshore long-term programme service agreement (LTPSA) are based on the master supply agreement signed by the two parties in June 2024.
The agreements are conditional and subject to conditions, including a notice to proceed from Skyborn. Installation at sea is set to begin in early 2028.
Located approximately 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the Gennaker project area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea.
Skyborn chief executive Patrick Lammers said: “We are thrilled to see the turbine supply agreement and the long-term service agreement with Siemens Gamesa coming to completion. It is another step towards Gennaker’s commissioning.
“Siemens Gamesa is a partner of choice for offshore wind turbines and we are delighted to be partnering with them again. Gennaker, our blueprint project, is the showcase of our end-to-end delivery capabilities, with standardised process to bring new offshore wind projects to life every 12 to 18 months.
“Gennaker, as the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea, will contribute to Germany’s climate goals by boosting renewable energy production in the electrical mix.”
Siemens Gamesa’s senior vice president for offshore Marc Becker added: “We have successfully partnered with Skyborn on four offshore wind projects across France, Taiwan, and Germany.
“With Gennaker, our joint portfolio will surpass 3GW of clean energy capacity. As the project moves toward final investment decision, we stand ready to deliver our SG 14-236 workhorse turbine, already backed by a robust order book exceeding 16GW.”
Located approximately 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the Gennaker project area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea.
Skyborn secured the initial building permit for the Gennaker site in May 2019 and maintains site exclusivity for development. Once commissioned, the project will supply approximately 1 million people with green electricity. Gennaker is planned to be commissioned in 2028.
