Claus Bøjle Møller, Project Director at #dongenergy, said: “The installation of this world-first technology shows that #dongenergy is leading the way in offshore wind #energy. By using bigger turbines, we’re able to bring down the cost of providing clean, renewable #energy to homes around the UK. This first turbine is a significant achievement for the project, and we’re looking forward to producing the first #green #energy later this year.”
It is not the first time #dongenergy has pioneered new technology in this area. The project is being built alongside the existing Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm which itself was an innovative project for #dongenergy, as it was the first offshore wind farm to use the Siemens 3.6MW turbines now used widely across the industry.
When Burbo Bank Extension has been fully commissioned, expectedly in the first half of 2017, #dongenergy will have 18 offshore wind farms in production – 11 of these in the UK.
