Borkum Riffgrund 2
Investment decision: Dong Energy has announced its decision to build the 450MW Borkum Riffgrund 2 wind farm, even though the project is still awaiting final permitting.
Borkum Riffgrund 2 was granted a construction permit in December 2011. But the consent needs to be amended to allow for deployment of the larger MHI Vestas V164 8MW turbines it now plans to use.
Dong is currently the sole owner of Borkum Riffgrund 2, but "in accordance with our partnership model, we intend to divest up to 50% of the project at a later stage" the company said.
Full commissioning is due in the first half of 2019. Under Germany‘s renewable energy act 2014, commissioning before the end of 2019 is crucial to getting the so-called "compressed" favourable feed-in tariff support. 24-June
