On June 30, Siemens Energy announced that it had recently secured, together with Neptun Smulders Offshore Renewables (NSORe), a contract from German transmission system operator 50Hertz to provide the grid connection system for the North Sea Connector 2 offshore wind grid connection project in the European North Sea. Once operational, the project will be able to transmit up to 2GW of offshore wind power to the onshore grid. The North Sea Connector 2 converter platform will be built by NSORe, a joint venture between Neptun Werft, part of Germany’s Meyer Werft Group, and Belgian construction company Smulders. Siemens Energy will provide the transmission technology and related equipment for the offshore converter platform, with around 95% of the equipment to be manufactured at Siemens Energy’s plants in Germany.
