After a tender process, Iberdrola has selected Areva Wind as a preferred turbine supplier for the Wikinger offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea, with construction scheduled for 2016 and 2017. Under the terms of the agreement, Areva Wind will support Iberdrola on foundation and tower design optimization, project logistics, installation concept and project certification with regulator Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH).
The Wikinger offshore wind project, currently being developed in German territorial waters of the Baltic Sea, will have approximately 400 MW installed capacity. The wind farm will produce enough green clean energy to power 350,000 homes. The M5000, the first 5 MW wind turbine designed exclusively for large-scale offshore wind farms, will be manufactured at Areva’s facilities in Bremerhaven (Germany). When signed, the contract will also include equipment transportation, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
