German wind turbine manufacturer Senvion reported a firm order intake of EUR 306 million for its offshore wind segment in 2017, compared to no firm orders recorded a year earlier.
The firm order intake is in relation to the 203MW Trianel Windpark Borkum II (TWB II) project.
Under the contract, which became effective in May 2017, Senvion will deliver 32 Senvion 6.2M152 turbines with a power upgrade. The installation of the turbine components at the TWB II offshore wind farm site is planned for spring 2019.
Last year, Senvion was appointed by Beleolico Srl as the supplier for the 30MW Taranto offshore wind farm in Italy, the first offshore wind farm in the Mediterranean Sea.
The project will feature ten Senvion 3.0M122 wind turbines installed outside the Taranto harbour in the Apulia region, Southern Italy. The agreement also includes a 25-year full maintenance service contract for the Taranto wind farm.
Senvion is currently developing a 10MW+ offshore wind turbine in cooperation with major companies and research institutes under the ReaLCoE project.
The prototype of the double-digit turbine is expected to be launched by late 2019 or early 2020.
