TenneT
At 7.77 terawatt hours (TWh) in the first half of 2017, North Sea offshore wind power transferred by system operator (TSO) TenneT exceeded that of the same period last year (5.18 TWh) by 50 percent, TenneT said in a press release. “The flow of energy from the North Sea has now reached a significant 16.5 percent share of overall wind energy generation in Germany and thus represents almost a sixth of the total wind power output,” said Lex Hartman, Member of the TenneT management board, in a press release.
