German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG (SI) and Italian cable
manufacturer Prysmian S.p.A. (PRY.MI) are erecting a power cable link for a
North
Sea
offshore windfarm, worth more than EUR500 million, Siemens said
Tuesday.
MAIN FACTS:
-The link called HelWin2 connects the Amrumbank West windfarm to the onshore
grid.
-The customer is TenneT TSO GmbH of Bayreuth, Germany.
-Through the connection of more wind farms it will be possible to transmit a
total of 690 megawatt via the grid connection, enough to supply more than 1
million German households with wind-generated power.
-The grid
connection is scheduled to be operational by 2015.
