UK - Siemens Gamesa’s RecyclableBlades have been chosen by RWE for 44 offshore wind turbines to be installed at the Sofia project off the east coast of the UK

In 2022, RWE became the first commercial, large-scale offshore developer to install Siemens Gamesa’s RecyclableBlade, with several being utilised in the Kaskasi offshore wind project located 35km north of the island of Heligoland in the German North Sea. The Sofia project will use RecyclableBlades measuring 108 meters long, representing the first deployment of this variant.

Marc Becker, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s offshore business, said: “Having the opportunity to produce and install 132 RecyclableBlades for the Sofia project is a remarkable achievement. “It fully demonstrates the joint focus between our companies to develop and deliver even greater levels of sustainability for renewable power generation globally.”

The blades would be manufactured at Siemens Gamesa’s Hull factory, which built the first RecyclableBlades for the Kaskasi project as well.
