TÜV SÜD certifies two offshore projects of the BARD Group

TÜV SÜD was commissioned by the BARD Group to carry out project certification of the two offshore projects 'Bernstein' and 'Citrin'. The projects are located in the North Sea within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Certification is a prerequisite for approval of the projects by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency.

"Certification of the two projects will initially be confined to the first approval", says Alexander Heitmann, Head of the Offshore Wind Energy Department at TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH in Hamburg. Within the scope of the first approval, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) will decide on approval of new offshore wind projects in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The EEZ comprises an area off the German coast at a distance of 12 to 200 sea miles from land. The BARD Group's offshore projects, Bernstein ('Amber') and Citrin ('Citrine'), are located in the western North Sea around 110 kilometres off the German coastline. Each project will deliver a total of 520 megawatts of installed capacity for 80 wind turbines each with a capacity of 6.5 MW.
