EnBW builds North Sea wind farm together with Canadian Enbridge

German utility EnBW starts construction of its first off-shore wind farm in the North Sea ten years after receiving permission, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reports. The largely state-owned utility will cooperate with Canadian pipeline company Enbridge in the 1.5 billion euro project, according to the newspaper. Enbridge will reportedly acquire almost half of the wind farm’s shares before construction begins. The 71 windmills in the wind farm, called “Hohe See” (High Sea), will have a capacity of about 500 megawatt and provide enough electricity for 560,000 average German households, FAZ reports. In order to benefit from guaranteed feed-in tariffs, the wind farm will have to be operational by the end of 2019, according to FAZ.
