The required approval for the project by the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency was granted in August 2006. The offshore wind farm project will be realized in the North Sea. The farm will consist of 80 wind turbines with a rated power between 250MW and 400MW depending on the choice of the wind turbines.
Evelop said that it strongly believes in the offshore wind opportunities for western Europe and foresees Germany to be one of the leading countries in this respect. Including Gode Wind I, Evelop now has thirteen offshore wind farms under development in six western European countries and had approximately 2,200MW of capacity in its offshore wind pipeline.
Dennis Lange, managing director of Evelop International, said: The partnership with Plambeck Neue Energien offers us the strategic position to become a major player in the German offshore market. The Gode Wind I project is one of the next three offshore wind farms in our portfolio that will start construction before 2011. It brings us closer to our mission: ‘a sustainable energy supply for everyone’.
