The Challenge
Provide temporary power to an offshore wind farm in a hurry
Building a wind farm with 80 wind turbines needs plenty of temporary power. Put the wind farm out at sea, and the power requirements get more complicated. The Meerwind Süd/Ost wind farm, built by WindMW in the German Bight, needed power during construction to keep the turbines turning and meet the strict warranty conditions from the manufacturer.
The project managers called on us to deliver generators to each of the 80 turbines. And with our power behind them, the equipment would work at its peak until the offshore site was connected to the mainland grid.
