DONG Energy, the LEGO Group and William Demant Celebrate the Inauguration of
BorkumRiffgrund 1 Offshore Wind Farm in Germany
NORDDEICH, Germany, October 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
With great excitement, the three partners: DONG Energy, the LEGO Group and
William Demant, celebrate the inauguration of the offshore wind farm
BorkumRiffgrund 1 which can provide clean electricity for 320,000 households.
The joint announcement by top management from DONG Energy, market leader in
planning, constructing and operating offshore wind farms, the LEGO Group
(KIRKBI A/S), makers of the iconic LEGO® brick, and William Demant,
specialists in personal hearing aid products, is made in the presence of His
Royal Highness, Prince Joachim of Denmark, who officially opens the wind
farm.
Thomas Thune Andersen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DONG Energy,
welcomes the guests in Norden-Norddeich, located in the Northwest of Germany,
from where the wind farm will be operated:
“BorkumRiffgrund 1 is our first operational project in Germany and I’m very
satisfied with the fact that we can now harvest the fruits of the investment
we have put into this project. I’m also very pleased with the confidence that
our joint venture partners have shown us by investing in this project.
Our journey in Germany is far from over: We are currently building another
two offshore wind projects and have a number of other projects in our
pipeline that will allow us to demonstrate the skills and competences we have
gained and will allow us to continue to show the trust we have in the German
offshore wind market.”
Renewable energy for 320,000 German households
With a nominal power per turbine of 4.0 MW, the 78 wind turbines will produce
enough environmentally friendly electricity to supply 320,000 German
households each year. The planning of the offshore wind farm BorkumRiffgrund
1 began with the final investment decision in 2011. In August 2013, the
construction of the wind farm started with the installation of the offshore
substation, which is the heart of the wind farm.
The wind farm is located 37 kilometres north of the German island Borkum and
54 kilometres from the German coast. The 78 wind turbines have a total
nominal power of 312 MW. Thus, BorkumRiffgrund 1 contributes considerably to
the aim of the German government to install a total of 6.5 GW of offshore
wind energy until the year 2020. Almost 3 GW have been installed in the
German North and Baltic Sea so far.
