DONG Energy Opens Borkum Riffgrund 1 and Gode Wind 1&2 O&M Base

DONG Energy is officially opening its operation management centre at Norddeich harbour today in the presence of the Parliamentary State Secretary Enak Ferlemann (Federal Ministry for Transport and Digital Infrastructure), Norden’s Mayoress Barbara Schlag and invited guests from business, public administration and politics.

In her welcome speech, Trine Borum Bojsen, Managing Director for Germany of DONG Energy, said: “Today is a special day for me and my colleagues. Because this building symbolises the long service life of our offshore wind farms.

“Our service technicians will run Borkum Riffgrund 1 and Gode Wind 1 and 2 for at least the next 25 years from here.”

The Papenburg-based company JOHANN BUNTE Bauunternehmung was awarded the construction contract in February 2014. As a result, the next construction phase began on the 30,000m2 harbour campus of DONG Energy – the Danish company’s construction supervision office has been located there since September 2013.

Construction of the company’s German offshore wind farms Borkum Riffgrund 1 and Gode Wind 1 and 2 is coordinated from there. DONG Energy has invested a total of 15 million euros in upgrading the location in Norddeich.
