Siemens Gamesa’s Hull factory is producing blades for 100 state-of-the-art 14 MW offshore wind turbines that will power RWE’s Sofia project.

RWE has unveiled the first of the turbine blades being made at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull, U.K. The 108 meter long blades are attached to each of the 100 14 MW offshore wind turbines which are set to operate at the RWE’s 1.

Offshore wind company, RWE, has unveiled the first of the turbine blades being made at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull, marking a milestone in construction of the flagship project.

Energy company RWE has revealed the first turbine blade for the 1.4GW Sofia offshore wind project. The blade, manufactured at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull, UK, is one of many that will power the 100 offshore turbines with 14MW capacity at the Sofia wind farm.

The 108-metre long blades are attached to each of the 100 x 14 megawatts offshore wind turbines which will operate at the heart of RWE’s Sofia Offshore Wind project in the North Sea. Once fully operational, the development will be capable of generating enough electricity to power around 1.2m homes in the UK.

RWE, one of the world’s leading companies in offshore wind, has unveiled the first of the state-of-the-art turbine blades being made at the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull, marking a major milestone in the construction of the flagship project.
