Siemens Energy has won a major contract from Fluor Ltd. to connect Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm to the British power grid.

The volume of the order for the grid connection is approximately EUR84 million. The Greater Gabbard project will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

Siemens will also supply 140 wind turbines for this project, which will be constructed 25 km off the coast of Suffolk in the UK.

Udo Niehage, CEO of the Power Transmission Division of the Siemens Energy Sector, said, “Siemens Energy has a unique wind power portfolio. Not only do we manufacture and supply high-tech wind turbines, we also efficiently connect wind farms to the grid”.
