MRE has provided temporary power pods designed and manufactured in-house, with a 2000l integrated fuel tank to minimise the constant refuelling and vessel intervention of smaller units, and delivered within 4 weeks after the order was placed.

MRE Project Director, Toby Mead, said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with DONG and to build the perfect solution for the Gode Wind TP design; this capability combined with owning a large stock of generators and our soon to be complete new build vessel, the ‘MRE Venture’, will give us the vehicle to drive forward with an all-encompassing temporary power offering.”

The Gode Wind project, comprising two wind farms, is located in the German sector of the North Sea at a distance of 40km from shore. All 97 Siemens 6MW turbines at Gode Wind 1 and 2 offshore wind project were installed in May. The offshore wind farms have a total capacity of 582MW and will provide green energy to approx. 600.000 German households.
