• The company is in final negotiations to supply the new SG 10.0-193 DD offshore wind turbines to Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) 1&2 already awarded to Vattenfall
• For the Hollandse Kust Zuid 3&4, Siemens Gamesa and Vattenfall have signed a contract, which is subject to the outcome of the Dutch auction and final investment decision
• The SG 10.0-193 DD offshore wind turbine announced in January 2019 would feature in the world’s first subsidy-free offshore wind power plant
• The new SG 10.0-193 DD turbines could be installed, strongly supporting the decrease in the levelized cost of energy (LCoE)
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) and Vattenfall are collaborating to realize the supply of wind turbines at these offshore wind power plants being developed in Dutch waters. Pending final developments, the new SG 10.0-193 DD turbines could be installed at Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid 1&2 and Hollandse Kust Zuid 3&4 projects. The HKZ 1&2 project is the world’s first zero subsidy offshore wind farm.
Siemens Gamesa is in final negotiations to be awarded the contract for the SG 10.0-193 DD offshore wind turbines for the HKZ 1&2 project. In addition, the company would also be awarded the contract for additional SG 10.0-193 DD turbines at the HKZ 3&4 project if this tender is awarded to Vattenfall, subject to final investment decision.
“We look very much forward to increasing our collaboration and teamwork with Vattenfall through these projects. Vattenfall once again demonstrates their confidence and interest in our products,” says Andreas Nauen, CEO of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore Business Unit.
In September 2018, Vattenfall received the irrevocable permit for the construction of the first subsidy-free wind power plant: Hollandse Kust Zuid 1&2. The first offshore works for this project have already started and must be realized ultimately in 2023. It will generate enough power every year to supply up to 1.5 million average European households with electricity.
“This is a very important development for us,” says Gunnar Groebler, Head of Business Area Wind at Vattenfall. “We are proud to have teamed up with Siemens Gamesa, the company has been a strong and reliable partner in other projects and we’re happy to extend our collaboration to Hollandse Kust Zuid”.
