OFFSHORE PROJECTS

Christoph Mertens, Managing Director DONG Energy Renewables Germany GmbH:

  • Interview excerpt from the WAB Newsletter Issue No 4 October 2013
  • WAB: How has the division in Germany developed?

Mertens: We now have 75 employees in Hamburg and Norddeich. In Hamburg is the engineering and the technicians go out to our projects from Norddeich.

• WAB: The first offshore wind farm will be Borkum Riffgrund I.

Mertens: Correct, the wind farm's transformer platform was installed a few weeks ago and is currently being tested. At the same time, TenneT is building the grid connection which is on schedule. Starting in January we will begin to install the monopiles, and in summer we will begin with the installation of the turbines. I think the wind farm will be completed in early 2015.

• WAB: Is there already a concrete follow-up project or will it depend on the political climate?

Mertens: We aim to make an investment decision for the Gode-Wind projects this year. If the decision is made, we have trust in the political statements that there will be no retroactive changes in the government support mechanisms.
