Siemens installs another offshore platform for Tennet

Munich/Erlangen - Siemens has installed a fourth offshore platform in the North Sea. This is the platform for the SylWin1 DC link, contracted to Siemens by the German-Dutch transmission grid operator Tennet.

Only a few days prior to this, Siemens installed the third platform at sea for the HelWin2 grid connection. In all, Siemens is implementing five North Sea grid connection projects for TenneT. The first four grid connections, whose platforms have now been installed at sea, are scheduled to take up commercial operation successively between the second half of 2014 and the first half of 2015. The fifth grid connection, which was contracted earlier this year, is slated to go on-line in 2019.
