The two parks will be developed with 120 of the 5MW turbines including 40 at Trianel Borkum and 80 at Global Tech I.

Areva Wind’s turbines will make up 33% of the 1.8GW turning offshore in Germany with the starting operation of the wind farms.

Areva’s Renewable Energies Business Group senior executive vice-president Louis-Francois Durret said, "By giving us their confidence, our customers Trianel and Global Tech I, have enabled us to reinforce our key player position on the European offshore wind market and positions us favorably to win future contracts in France and the UK."

The 200MW Trianel Borkum wind farm is situated nearly 45km off the island of Borkum, while the 400MW Global Tech 1 park is located at a distance of 110km from the German coast.
