Glennmont also owns a stake in Ørsted’s Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm.

This is powered by 23 Siemens Gamesa SG 11.0-200 DD offshore wind turbines. Each can generate 11MW of clean electricity.

The power generated from Gode Wind 3 will be transmitted to TenneT’s offshore high-voltage direct current converter station, DolWin Kappa, and to an onshore grid connection in Emden, Germany. This project is expected to begin operations in 2024.

Ørsted Central Europe head Peter Obling stated: “We continue to see strong investor interest for offshore wind farms, and we are very pleased to once again welcome Glennmont as a co-owner of one of our German offshore wind farms.

“As the leading developer of offshore wind in Germany, Ørsted is committed to being a central part of the German Energiewende, and we’ll continue to work to support the green transformation in this strategic market.”

Glennmont Partners chief financial officer and partner Francesco Cacciabue stated: “This third investment in German offshore wind with Ørsted continues and strengthens our successful partnership.

“Ørsted is a recognised leader in the offshore wind sector, and this acquisition underscores Glennmont’s strategy of investing in superior quality projects and developing long-term strategic partnerships with industry leaders.”
