VINCI wins a contract to design, build and install electrical
conversion platforms in the North Sea
Nanterre, 17 July 2024
VINCI wins a contract to design, build
and install electrical conversion platforms in the North
Sea
- An offshore converter platform and
an onshore wind energy conversion platform in Germany
- A capacity of 2 GW
- A contract worth a total of €2.9
billion
The consortium made up of Dragados Offshore – a
subsidiary of Cobra IS – and Siemens Energy has been awarded by the
German transmission system operator 50Hertz a contract to design,
build and install of two electrical conversion stations.
This project includes an offshore converter
platform which will convert the alternative current produced by the
wind farm LanWin 3 in the North Sea – located 120 km off the German
coast – into high-voltage direct current (HVDC) to reduce
electrical losses during transmission to land.
In addition, an onshore platform, located in
Schwerin in the North-East of Germany, will convert the direct
current into alternating current. It will then be injected into the
electricity grid for transmission and distribution in the south of
the country.
The offshore converter platform will be built in
the Dragados Offshore’ yard in Andalusia (Spain).
This latest success confirms Cobra IS's
recognised expertise in this fast-growing sector.
It has already delivered DolWin 6 in 2023 and, with today's
contract, it will be responsible for building nine offshore power
conversion platforms. The total capacity is around 16 GW.
