This contract governs the technical details of the connection of the power station to E.ON’s 380kV high-voltage network.
Electrabel is planning to build a 800MW coal-fired power station in Wilhelmshaven. With an efficiency rate of 46% it will reportedly be one of the most modern facilities in Europe. The commencement of its commercial operation is set to begin in 2012.
Erik von Scholz, Electrabel Deutschland’s CEO, said: Developing the network capacity to 380kV is necessary so that the German customers can receive the electricity generated in our power station in Wilhelmshaven. With this contract we established the basis for the timely access of our power station to the transmission network.
