Nacelle production facility project, Germany
Name and Location
Nacelle production facility project, Cuxhaven, Germany.
Client
Siemens.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of Siemens’ first production facility for offshore wind turbine components in Germany.
The factory will manufacture nacelles for the company’s next-generation wind turbines, designed for use at sea, with a capacity of 7 MW each.
The new factory, in Cuxhaven, will be one of Siemens’ most significant new production facilities in recent years and create up to 1 000 new jobs.
The facility will comprise 170 000 m2 and will be located directly at the edge of Cuxhaven’s well-developed harbour, allowing for heavy components to be loaded directly onto transportation vessels, thereby avoiding expensive ground transportation. The new factory will handle the final assembly of generators, hubs and nacelle back-ends, which are all connected to form complete nacelles, the core of offshore wind turbines.
Value
The project involves an investment of €200-million.
Duration
The ground breaking is scheduled to take place later this year, with production of the first components to begin in mid-2017.
Latest Developments
The project was announced in August this year.
Key Contracts and Suppliers
