With the commissioning of BorWin3, general contractors Siemens and Petrofac have handed over the fifth North Sea grid connection to its customer TenneT.
The 900 MW project will convert three-phase electric power generated by the Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind farms into direct current and transmit it 160km back to shore.
After completion of successful test runs, TenneT accepted the project.
Siemens was responsible for the grid connection system including an onshore converter station.
