European Wind – Swiss intelligence

European Economic Plan for Recovery (EEPR) example funding for:

Nordsee Ost : 48 6MW turbines (RePower) on jacket

foundations ; EEPR (€ 55 m) cofinances the supply of the turbines.

Borkum West, 1st phase: 40 5 MW turbines (Multibrid) on tripod foundations ; EEPR (€ 50 m) co-finances the

turbines and tripods.

New Entrance Reserve funding scheme

On-shore wind turbines optimised for complex terrains (e.g. forested terrains, mountainous areas): with nominal capacity 25 MW
