Located nearly 95km north-west of the island of Borkum in Germany’s exclusive economic zone in the North Sea, Veja Mate has been operational since 2017.
It is claimed to be the country’s third largest operational offshore wind farm and has a fixed renewable energy feed-in tariff in place until 2029.
Equipped with 67 wind turbines, Veja Mate has been generating clean energy for 450,000 households while displacing 950,000t of carbon emissions a year.
The facility has received the Best Offshore Wind Power Plant in Operation award at the Helgoland Offshore Economic Forum for two consecutive years.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) will provide technical maintenance for the offshore wind facility under a framework of a full-service agreement.
The company is due to serve as a full-service provider for the facility until 2032.
