Dong Halts German Offshore Windfarm

GALWAY, IRELAND--October 25, 2012 --Written by Martin Lynch, European News Editor for Industrial Info (Galway, Ireland) Dong Energy A/S (Fredericia, Denmark) has halted plans to develop another German offshore windfarm due to delays in getting the project connected to the grid.

Denmark's largest energy company is blaming German grid operator, TenneT TSO BV (Arnhem, Netherlands), for its decision to mothball the proposed windfarm which will have a generating capacity of around 346-megawatts (MW).
