The German power company RWE and industrial group Siemens unveiled
on Friday a joint venture to build a giant British offshore wind farm worth
more than two billion euros (2.4 billion dollars).
RWE's Innogy unit will own 60 percent of the project, while service provider SWM will take
a stake of 30 percent and Siemens will hold the remaining 10 percent
It is to be sited off the north coast of Wales,
be completed in 2014, and supply 1,950 MW of electricity per year, enough to power 400,000 homes. Siemens is to furnish 160 wind turbines and land connections and maintain the park for the first five years.
