DONG Energy and Siemens Energy have signed a framework agreement on the supply and servicing of a total of 300 offshore wind turbines of 6 MW each, giving a total capacity of 1,800 MW. The turbines will be installed at selected DONG Energy offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom over the period 2014-2017.
The agreement is a key element of DONG Energy’s strategy to significantly expand offshore wind and will strengthen its position as market leader in the offshore area. It will support Siemens Energy to optimise production of its 6 MW offshore wind turbine and strengthen its market position as supplier of wind turbines for the offshore industry.
The agreement commits DONG Energy to pay a cancellation fee in the event of the cancellation of projects comprised by the agreement.
DONG Energy and Siemens Energy are currently working together on projects under construction on Lincs, London Array and West of Duddon Sands in the UK, Borkum Riffgrund 1 in Germany and Anholt offshore wind farm in Denmark. These projects total approx. 2,000 MW.
