Hamburg, Germany, 19th June 2024
* Master Supply Agreement for the delivery of 63 wind turbines
with a capacity of up to 15 MW from Siemens Gamesa
* Gennaker project continues to progress
* Adding 945 MW to the clean energy transition in Germany
Skyborn Renewables (Skyborn) advances the Gennaker offshore wind
project with an updated Master Supply Agreement signed today with
Siemens Gamesa for the delivery of 63 SG 14-236 DD wind turbines
with a power boost of up to 15MW and a rotor diameter of 236
meters. This agreement strengthens the long-term partnership
between the two companies and upgrades the wind turbine
technology to state-of-the-art wind turbines, replacing the 2022
Master Supply Agreement which provided for the delivery of 103 SG
8.0-167 DD Siemens Gamesa wind turbines (with a power boost of up
to 9 MW). The Gennaker project continues to progress with the
main soil investigation nearing completion, foundation design
contract signed, and responses to tenders for other main wind
farm components and installation vessels under review.
"Securing this new Master Supply Agreement for the wind turbines
is an important milestone for the Gennaker project, solidifying
further planning - especially important in today's tight supply
chain environment. It is also testament to the strong commitment
of all parties involved in realizing the project," says Patrick
Lammers, CEO of Skyborn. "Offshore wind power is critical for
boosting renewables in the energy mix. The Gennaker project will
directly contribute to Germany's and Mecklenburg-Western
Pomerania's climate goals," Lammers adds.
At 945 MW, Gennaker will become the most powerful offshore wind
farm in the German Baltic Sea to date. Located approximately 15
kilometers north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the
project area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore
wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea.
Skyborn secured the initial building permit for the Gennaker site
in May 2019 and maintains site exclusivity for development.
Offshore construction works are planned to commence in 2027.
