Wind Energy – RWE
RWE has won two of the three sites on offer, with the Essen headquartered outfit taking 4GW of the 5.5GW up for grabs.
The zones are the 2GW N-9.1 and 2GW N-9.2, both in the North Sea 115km off Borkum.
RWE will pay a total bid price of €250m for the sites and said it will explore the possibility of developing the offshore projects together with TotalEnergies.
The investment decisions are expected to be taken by 2027 and 2028. Subject to the necessary permits, offshore construction could start in 2029 and 2030, with full commissioning planned for 2031 and 2032 respectively.
A company connected to Luxcara has won the third zone up for grabs in the tender for centrally pre-investigated project zones. Waterekke Energy GmbH was awarded the contract for 1.5GW N-9.3.
