Grid Other

Transmission system operator TenneT issued a conditional grid connection agreement for the Gode Wind II offshore wind farm on 2 November 2010. The agreement followed PNE WIND AG’s submission of key project documents, including the approval, construction schedule and geotechnical evidence for all 84 originally planned turbine locations, satisfying three of the four criteria set out in the German Federal Network Agency’s position paper. On this basis, TenneT confirmed the conditional grid connection and launched the tender process for the grid connection components. The conditional commitment secured a future grid access point for Gode Wind II and was an important prerequisite for moving the project towards construction.
