Mumbai : L&T announces the successful conclusion of the Framework Cooperation Agreement (FCA) for 2 GW offshore wind programme with TenneT.
L&T, in consortium with Hitachi
Energy, entered into FCA covering in principle six projects and future
opportunities under TenneT’s ambitious 2-GW HVDC programme. The framework is designed to support large-scale
integration of offshore renewable energy and accelerate Europe's transition
towards a sustainable and decarbonised clean energy future.
As part of the programme, the consortium
will continue the execution of two ongoing projects – IJmuiden Ver Alpha and
Nederwiek 1 – in the Netherlands. In addition, the consortium will commence two
new projects, Nederwiek 3 in the Netherlands and LanWin 5 in Germany.
Together, these projects represent a
cumulative transmission capacity of 8 GW operating at 525 kV. The projects will
enable the transfer of renewable energy generated in the Dutch and German
sectors of the North Sea to the onshore power grids.
Under the engineering, procurement,
construction and installation scope, L&T will execute the offshore
converter platforms and associated infrastructure, while Hitachi Energy will
provide its HVDC Light® technology for efficient power conversion
and transmission.
Combining L&T’s offshore engineering
and project execution expertise with Hitachi Energy’s advanced power
transmission capabilities, the consortium is uniquely positioned to deliver
reliable HVDC infrastructure that will accelerate Europe’s renewable energy
transition and support its decarbonisation goals.
L&T's Offshore Wind business vertical
is backed by multidisciplinary engineering expertise through its engineering
centre of excellence in India and Sharjah, UAE, strategic global partnerships,
a robust supply chain ecosystem and world-class modular fabrication facilities
in Kattupalli, India. These strengths enable the delivery of complex offshore
structures to the highest standards of safety, quality and sustainability.
This landmark programme further
strengthens L&T’s international footprint and positions the company at the
forefront of developing sustainable offshore energy infrastructure for a
net-zero future.
