Siemens
German wind turbine manufacturer Siemens has announced that it will provide offshore wind farms capable of generating power at levelled costs of below 8 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) as of 2025. These costs would include the grid connection to the shore, a Siemens press release states. By 2020, Siemens wants to generate offshore wind power for under 10 euro cents/kWh. A large share of the price reduction can be attributed to technical improvements, new grid connection technologies and logistics, the company said.
