Dong Energy and Siemens have agreed to utilize and expand the off
take under the supply agreement signed in March 2009 as Siemens will
deliver 75 3.6MW turbines to the 270MW offshore project Lincs,
located in the UK North Sea.
Dong Energy has announced its participation in the Lincs project
together with Siemens Project Ventures. Additionally, Siemens has
been chosen as the design-build contractor for grid connection
including offshore substation, onshore substation and the laying of
the cables onshore.
The turbines for the Lincs project will, as for the Walney 2 and
London Array projects, be delivered with the newest version of
Siemens offshore wind turbine with a large 120m rotor. The two first
versions of the new 120m rotor have recently been erected close to
Dong Energy's power plant, vedorevaerket, in Copenhagen.
Anders Eldrup, CEO of Dong Energy, said: "With these potential
further supplies from Siemens, Dong Energy is well positioned to
maintain our leading position within offshore wind. The agreement is
an important step for Dong Energy in progressing and realizing the
projects in our pipeline."
