Other Permit Awarded

In 2009, the Veja Mate offshore wind project received its formal construction permit, providing regulatory approval to build the 402 MW wind farm in the German North Sea. This permit was an essential milestone enabling subsequent project financing, contracting, and construction activities. With the construction authorisation in place, the project could move ahead to secure funding, select key suppliers such as Siemens for turbines and Boskalis for foundations, and progress towards an expected online date in 2017. The reference to the construction permit underlines that core regulatory consents were in place several years before financial close and physical offshore works began.
