The converter platform left Warnemünde in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on the 15th of June and underwent a six day journey along the German and Danish coastlines to reach its final destination. Once in position, the team began the installation onto the substructure – called the “jacket”, which was installed in 2016.
DolWin3 is now the tenth out of twelve grid connections to be implemented by the German transmission system operator TenneT and has a capacity of 900 MW. DolWin 3 connects wind parks Merkur Offshore and Borkum Riffgrund 2 to the onshore grid.
TenneT and GE Grid Solutions are both project partners in the PROMOTioN Project and active within several work packages.
