Recent developments in offshore projects confirm TenneT warning
Bericht
• Timeline adjusted in completion of two platforms in German part of the North Sea
• TenneT: Every effort must be made to complete grid connections in time
Transmission system operator TenneT is fulfilling its obligations under German energy law and is making exceptional efforts to connect offshore wind farms in Germany. TenneT informed the German federal government that the construction of grid connections for offshore wind farms in the North Sea is no longer either possible at the present pace and under current conditions. Recent developments have now underlined the urgency of this warning. TenneT has been informed by its main contractors that construction work on the platforms BorWin beta (‘BorWin 2’) and HelWin alpha (‘HelWin 1’) will be delayed. As a result, the original terms for the commissioning of these wind farms will probably not be met. TenneT has already informed the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) and the operators and developers of the relevant wind farms. In close collaboration with the suppliers, TenneT aims to make every effort to ensure that the grid connections are completed as quickly as possible.
