18 六 10 Irish Sea built the world’s largest wind power park
A huge energy plant is taking shape: the construction of the Irish Sea is the world’s largest wind park. The project by Siemens, RWE, StadtwerkeMünchen utility company building the implementation capacity to meet the 400,000 British households each year demand for electricity.
Not only the size of the name of a wind energy park is also unusual: “GwyntyMôr” (Welsh: Sea of Wind). Four years later, a wind energy park will be incorporated into power: According to RWEInnogy, Siemens and StadtwerkenMünchen utility company’s plans, the Welsh coast Siemens will build 160 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 567 MW, is by far the world’s largest marine facilities.
Covering a wider area: North Wales coast 13 kilometers before the coverage area of 124 square km area, covering an area of small wind turbines for the 79 square kilometers of electricity to meet the 400,000 families every year demand for electricity. “GwyntyMôr” will be completed by 2013, electricity began in 2014.
Throughout the project, responsible for renewable energy projects in the RWE subsidiary of investment accounted for 60%, Stadtwerk companies accounted for 30%, Siemens 10% investment. The three companies plan to invest a total of more than 20 billion euros.
Slow pace of offshore wind development in Germany
Although the “GwyntyMôr” is by far the world’s largest investment and construction has started wind power park, but other projects are relatively slow pace of implementation. Program’s largest wind power park is located near the northern Hai Duoge Beach, plans installed capacity of 9000 MW, the generating capacity equivalent to seven nuclear power stations.
This project is RWE’s fifth wind park project. By 2025, renewable energy generation in the RWE Group’s share of places will increase from less than 5% now to 30% – of which offshore wind park will play a big role. RWEInnogy head FritzVarenholt that renewable energy building, the group invested about 1.4 billion euros per year, equivalent to a quarter of total investment in wind power generation.
However, Varenholt the construction of offshore wind power in Germany expressed dissatisfaction with slow speed. He said: “We can not wait the time.” Building of the eastern North Sea wind park grid connection cable, works to continue for three years. “This is a can not we accept.”
