This wind farm consists of 80 turbines of 5MW each, giving total capacity of 400MW.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of OWS comes alongside the renewal of the offshore wind facility maintenance contract for 10 years, by its owner Ocean Breeze Energy.<\/p>\n<p>Through the acquisition of OWS, EDF Energies Nouvelles complements the O&amp;M expertise of its REETEC subsidiary, which has mainly been active in onshore and offshore wind installation until today. With the 188 experts from OWS, Reetec will now have more than 350 O&amp;M specialists across these two business areas.<\/p>\n<p>OWS also has an Operations Control Center for offshore wind in Emden, the cradle of the German offshore wind industry.
