Germany, Berlin: Siemens Energy and Spain’s Dragados Offshore have been awarded a contract worth more than $4.3 B (€4 B).
Based on the contract, two companies will build two converter systems for offshore wind energy grid connections in Germany, the German company said in a statement.
Siemens Energy said the contract awarded to the consortium of both companies by German transmission system operator Amprion is the most significant offshore grid connection order it has received to date.
According to an industry source, Siemens Energy’s share of the contract is around half of the total value or around $2.15 B (€2 B).
According to the statement, up to 4 GW of green electricity from offshore wind farms in Germany can be transported in total, enough to meet the needs of about 4 million people.
