RWE has been awarded the N-9.1 and N-9.2 sites in the North Sea by the German Federal Network Agency during its latest offshore wind auction.
The awarded sites, each with a 2 GW capacity, are located 115 kilometers from the island of Borkum, on the border with the Dutch Exclusive Economic Zone. RWE will pay a total bid price of €250 million for the sites.
The company is slated to explore developing the offshore projects together with TotalEnergies.
“Offshore wind is one of the main pillars of Germany’s energy transition and RWE’s Growing Green strategy,” says Sven Utermöhlen, CEO of RWE Offshore Wind.
With today’s success, we are adding two more large-scale wind farms to our already strong German offshore wind portfolio, and we look forward to realizing the new projects, possibly with TotalEnergies. Our teams are already in the starting blocks.”
The investment decisions are expected to be taken by 2027 for N-9.1 and 2028 for N-9.2.
