ERLANGEN/DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY, October 9, 2008. E.ON has placed a €275 million order with Siemens Energy for the supply of 90 wind turbines for the 207 MW Rødsand II offshore wind farm off the coast of Denmark.

The project will be among the largest offshore wind farms in the world when the 90 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines are installed in 2010. The order also includes a two-year service contract.

Rødsand II will be located 3 km to the west from the existing 165.6 MW Rødsand I offshore wind farm, which was connected to the grid in 2003. Rødsand I consists of 72 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines and is jointly operated by E.ON and Danish DONG Energy.

Cord Landsmann, Chief Financial Officer of E.ON Climate & Renewables says: “We are building on the offshore experience of Rødsand I, it is a successful model which we will replicate in the construction of Rødsand II.”

Independent of this contract, Siemens Energy and E.ON announced the signing of a €1 billion framework agreement for the supply of 500 wind turbines at Husum WindEnergy in September. The 1,150 MW worth of machines will be installed in onshore projects in Europe and the US in 2010 and 2011.
