TenneT accomplishes more than 82% goal of 5,332 MWs Offshore Wind

As far as offshore Wind energy transmission is concerned, 10 offshore grid connection systems possessing a capacity of 5,332 MW have now been connected to the transmission system operator TenneT who insists on two further grid connection systems to be finished by the end of 2019, which will suffice for a transmission capacity of 7,132 megawatts within the North Sea. There are plans for four more connections by 2025.

The first half of 2017 observed wind energy being transferred onshore from the North Sea by TenneT that aggravated further in the second half of the year to 8.2 TWh. Balanced outcomes signify persistent wind energy production in the North Sea across the entire year.

Lex Hartman, member of the TenneT management team stated “The positive trend from the first half of the year has been confirmed and the strong growth in North Sea wind output shows that offshore wind energy has become a key energy source with reliability also increasing.”
