Veja Mate Offshore Wind Farm
Exclusive economic zone of Germany in the North Sea, Germany
The 1576th largest power station in the world
Veja Mate is a German 402 MW offshore wind farm in the German Bight of the North Sea about 95 km northwest of Borkum. The wind farm consists of 67 Siemens Wind Power SWT-6.0-154 turbines, each with a 6 MW capacity. In January 2017, 18 months after the financial close, the first of the turbines started delivering power to the German grid. The last turbine was installed on 25 May 2017, and commissioning activities were completed on 31 May 2017. Construction was completed in less than 23 months after financial close, almost four months ahead of the schedule agreed at financial close. The EUR 1.9 billion (US$2.1bn) wind farm is owned by Siemens Financial Services and a consortium of European investors. The power is delivered via the offshore converter station HVDC BorWin2 to the German onshore Diele substation near Weener.
