McDermott led consortium wins 980MW High-Voltage project by TenneT
McDermott International said on Tuesday it has awarded the BorWin6 980MW High-Voltage, Direct Current (HVDC) project to deliver wind power to the German transmission grid.
The company won the project through a consortium alongside Global Energy Interconnection Research Institute Co., Ltd. and C-EPRI Electric Power Engineering Co., Ltd. McDermott will lead the consortium.
McDermott said they will provide engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) services. The company added that this is the largest renewable energy contract from TenneT.
"This major EPCIC award elevates our growing energy transition portfolio and signifies our expansion into the thriving offshore wind market, further strengthening our global ambitions in the renewables sector," said Samik Mukherjee, McDermott's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, in a statement.
The HVDC offshore converter platform, the consortium will install, is located 190 kilometers offshore Germany on the Platform North Sea Cluster 7; the company said. This is 40 meters in water depth.
The consortium said that the generated electricity generated from offshore wind farms will be converted into direct current which then will be transported to an onshore converter station.
