Nordsee Cluster B - N-3.5 Offshore Wind Farm

10 Aug 2023: The Federal Network Agency announced results of the 2023 pre-examined tender for sites N-3.5 (420 MW), N-3.6 (480 MW), N-6.6 (630 MW) and N-6.7 (270 MW). Nordseecluster B GmbH (RWE) was awarded the contract for sites N-3.5 and N-3.6. RWE Renewables Offshore HoldCo Four GmbH was awarded the site N-6.6, but Vattenfall Nordlicht II Offshore Wind GmbH has a right of entry which must be exercised by 14th September. Waterkant Energy GmbH (Luxcara) received for the area N-6.7. With the award, the successful bidders are entitled to the implementation of a planning approval procedure for the construction and operation of wind turbines on the site as well as the right to connection and grid connection capacity. RWE secured the N-3.5 and N-3.6 without a negative bid component. Financial bids for remaining two sites totalled €784 million. Developers were required to submit a financial bid value (60 points) in euros and a project description, which must contain information on four other qualitative criteria: Contribution to decarbonisation (5 points); Volume of supply (10 points); Noise pollution (10 points); and Contribution to skilled workers (10 points). The financial bid is uncapped. 90% of the bid component payment goes towards the TSO to achieve electricity cost reduction. This is paid on an annual basis over 20 years. 5% to the federal budget for marine conservation and 5% to federal budget for fisheries. This is paid, within 12 months of contract award, to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. A security deposit is determined from the bid amount multiplied by €200/kW for pre-examined sites. 25% of the security deposit is due by the bid deadline. The remaining 75% is due within three months of the award. Developers must meet set milestones and ensure commitments made for non-price criteria are met.
