DONG Energy and Siemens Energy have signed a framework agreement on the supply and servicing of a total of 300 offshore wind turbines of 6 megawatt each, giving a total capacity of 1,800 megawatt. The turbines will be installed at selected DONG Energy offshore wind farms in the UK in the period 2014-2017.

The agreement concerns Siemens Energy’s newly developed 6 megawatt offshore wind turbine with a 154-metre rotor based on gearless direct drive technology. Siemens Energy’s new turbine belongs to the next generation of large offshore wind turbines of more than 5 megawatt and will give a significantly higher production per position.
