Source Intelligence
The project is split into two phases: Nordseecluster A consists of 660 megawatts and is scheduled for operation in early 2027, while Phase B, with 900 megawatts, is projected to become operational in 2029. The two offshore electrical substations were built and integrated at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Each topside is around 40 meters in length and 22 meters in height. One unit weighs roughly 1,800 tons, and the other about 2,500 tons. The substations are specifically designed to collect and amplify the electricity generated by wind turbines at Nordseecluster before they then transfer that power to shore. They will also be crucial in arranging systems for remote monitoring and operational control. The 1.6 gigawatt cluster is enough to provide clean electricity for approximately 1.6 million homes.
"At the heart of this particular one is RWE and its partner Norges Bank Investment Management . They are already expected to be essential in the implementation of Phase A of the 1.6-gigawatt wind cluster in the German North Sea."
