Nordsee exploits full grid capacity

The Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm has produced record breaking power following optimal wind speeds which has allowed RWE to exploit the full offshore grid capacity set out by the network operators.

The strong wind in recent days has allowed the plant to generate the most electricity per day since it's commissioning in May 2015. The peak winds reached speeds of up to 27 metres per second which allowed the wind farm to produce 6,500 megawatt hours a day.

Sven Schulemann, overall leader for the Nordsee Ost wind farm at RWE Innogy said: "It fills us with joy that we are already seeing the beginning of windy time that our systems can retrieve the planned performance. Thanks to the strong autumn and winter winds we are now regularly feeding the full network capacity."

Nordsee Ost wind farm is owned and operated by RWE Innogy. The plant was constructed around 35 kilometres to the north-east of the island of Heligoland in the German North Sea region. With 48 6.2M 126 Senvion wind turbines, each with a rated power of 6.15MW, the plant has a total installed capacity of 295.2MW. The turbines stand in water depths of up to 25 metres and will produce sufficient power to supply the equivalent of about 320,000 households annually.
