Atlantique win offshore substation contract
RWE, one of the world’s leading companies in offshore wind, has selected Atlantique Offshore Energy to construct the offshore substation for the F.E.W. Baltic II wind farm.
Atlantique was selected for engineering, procuring, constructing, installing and commissioning of the electrical offshore substation.
Once fully operational, the 350 megawatts (MW) wind farm will be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent needs of around 350,000 Polish households.
After the successful delivery of the Arkona offshore substation in 2018, this is the second time that Chantiers de l’Atlantique and RWE have joined forces on an offshore wind project.
Sven Utermöhlen, CEO Offshore Wind at RWE Renewables: “With selecting Chantiers de l’Atlantique, we have passed the next milestone on the way to realising our first Polish offshore wind farm. Poland is one of the most attractive, emerging offshore markets in Europe. With our F.E.W. Baltic II project we will contribute significantly to Poland’s green energy transition and accelerate the development of the local supply chain.”
Frédéric Grizaud, Director of Atlantique Offshore Energy: “We are very pleased and proud to welcome back RWE, a worldwide leader in our industry, and to execute for them their first complete project for an Electrical Offshore Substation in Poland. Our continued effort to improve the overall competitiveness of our substations
demonstrates again our positive contribution to the European energy transition.”
