Siemens Gamesa has received a firm order from RWE to supply wind turbines for the 1.4 GW Sofia wind farm offshore the UK.
Located 195 kilometers off the northeast coast of the United Kingdom on Dogger Bank, Sofia will feature 100 SG 14-222 DD wind turbines.Under the contract, Siemens Gamesa will also service and maintain the wind turbines for a period of two years.
The installation of the wind turbines is scheduled to start in 2025, Siemens Gamesa said. Final project completion is expected by the fourth quarter of 2026. This is Siemens Gamesa’s first firm order for its largest turbine model in the portfolio.
”The UK is the world’s largest offshore wind market, so it is appropriate that it should be the first to install the world’s largest turbine in production, the SG 14-222 DD,” Marc Becker, CEO of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore Business Unit , said.
”We are proud to be partnering with RWE on another highly significant project, and to bring our industry-leading machine to this huge development. A wind power project of this scale is possible due to the cutting-edge use of technology in the turbines, in their manufacturing, and in installation. Rapid innovation of proven technology has made this leap in generating capacity possible – and with it a leap forward toward the goals of decarbonising energy and achieving Net Zero - Link
