Construction for the offshore wind power plant began in February 2013. The project involved an investment of more than €1bn. Vattenfall was also responsible for construction and operation of the facility.

The now-operational facility is expected to generate enough renewable power to meet the energy requirements of more than 400,000 average households.

Siemens is also responsible for preventive and corrective maintenance of the turbines according to the terms of a five-year service agreement.

The German firm has further set up the turnkey grid connection SylWin1 for the offshore wind project, which has a transmission capacity of 864MW.

Recently, Siemens handed over the direct-current (DC) offshore link to the grid operator TenneT.
