Ordtek will be providing UXO consultancy services and client representation ahead of offshore power cable and platform installation operations in the German Bight.

It now delivers a total capacity of 7,132 MW of offshore wind energy. By the end of 2019, TenneT exceeded the German government’s 2020 6.5 GW expansion target for sustainable North Sea and Baltic Sea wind power.

The transition system operator aims to reach an offshore wind transmission capacity of 10 GW by 2025. After 2025, TenneT plans to develop more than 6.5 GW of transmission capacity, to be installed by 2030 in order to meet the government's new target. Its has planned an annual investment between €4-5 billion to support Germany's energy transition.
