据OE网站12月21日报道，德国当局已批准RWE对342兆瓦的Kaskasi近海风电场的规划许可。
根据RWE的说法，在成功参加临时制度下的拍卖之后，该批准使Kaskasi（正式名称：Kaskasi II）成为德国首个根据新《海上风能法》获得规划许可的海上风电场。
该许可的一个组成部分是试点风力涡轮机，将在其上测试创新技术。 该风电场将于2022年夏季投产。
在2022年第四季度全面启动商业运营后，Kaskasi每年将能够为大约40万户家庭提供电力。
投资Kaskasi海上风电场的决定是在2020年初做出的，该风电场将建在Heligoland岛以北35公里处。主要组成部分的供应商已经选定，部分已经开始生产。
该风电场将包括西门子Gamesa 38台风力涡轮机(类型:SG 8.0- 167dd)。每台涡轮机的装机发电量将达9兆瓦。风力涡轮机将安装在单桩基础上。
海上作业将于2021年第三季度开始。RWE将使用“振动打桩”安装方法，这是传统的将单钻柱锤打到海底的一种有效替代方法。改进后的安装方法可以减少安装时间和施工过程中的噪声排放。
Kaskasi是RWE在德国海岸近海的第六个风电场。该公司运营着海上风电场Nordsee Ost(295兆瓦)和Amrumbank West(302兆瓦)，这两个风电场也位于Heligoland海岸附近，还有装机发电量为385兆瓦的Arkona (RWE占50%)，是波罗的海最大的海上风力发电场。此外，RWE还持有Nordsee 郝芬 译自 OE

Germany: RWE's Kaskasi Offshore Wind Farm Gets Planning Permission
The German authorities have granted RWE planning permission for the 342-megawatt Kaskasi offshore wind farm.
According to RWE, the approval makes Kaskasi (official name: Kaskasi II) the first offshore wind farm in Germany receiving planning permission under the new wind at sea law, following successful participation in the auction held under the so called interim system.
A component of the permit are pilot wind turbines at which innovative technologies will be tested. The wind farm is set to go After the full start of commercial operation in Q4 2022, Kaskasi will be able to supply the equivalent of around 400,000 households per year with electricity.
The decision to invest in the Kaskasi offshore wind farm, which will be built 35 kilometers north of the island of Heligoland, was made in early 2020. Suppliers for the main components have already been selected and some have already started fabrication.
The wind farm will comprise a total of Siemens Gamesa 38 wind turbines (type: SG 8.0-167 DD). Each turbine will have an installed capacity of up to nine megawatts (MW). The wind turbines will be installed The offshore work is set to start in Q3 2021. RWE will use the “vibro pile-driving” installation method, which is an efficient alternative to the conventional method of hammering monopiles into the seabed. This improved installation method could reduce installation time and noise emissions during construction.
Kaskasi is RWE’s sixth wind farm off the German coast. The company operates the offshore wind farms Nordsee Ost (295 MW) and Amrumbank West (302 MW), also off the coast of Heligoland, as well as Arkona, which has an installed capacity of 385 MW (RWE share 50%) and is the largest offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. In addition, RWE holds shares in the wind farms Nordsee One and Alpha Ventus.
