Emirati company Drydex World announced that it has launched a project to build and install the two gigawatt (GW) Ostwind 4, in collaboration with GE Vernova, which will provide power to approximately two million households in Germany.
According to Amac News: The project, awarded by 50Hz, the operator of the eastern German electricity transmission system, is considered an important step in the country’s commitment to renewable energy.
Ostwind 4 will connect wind farms in the Baltic Sea to the national grid using advanced high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology. The project includes the construction of offshore and onshore converter stations and a 110-kilometer DC cable system.
Drydex World is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the wind energy converter station structures. GE Vernova will also supply the HVDC technology and related equipment.
The senior executives of the two companies emphasized the importance of this project in advancing sustainable infrastructure and clean energy transmission, and considered it a demonstration of international cooperation and innovation in the field of renewable energy. As the first use of 525 kV technology in the Baltic Sea, this project will set new standards for efficiency in long-distance energy transmission.
