1
Kriegers Flak Offshore development in three
different countries - lessons learned and
progress expected

2

• Construction and financing of RE-projects (1.4
  billion -invest, 1,000 MW)
• Development of and sponsorship in international
  RE-projects
• Development of offshore wind farms

3
WPD Offshore

• Development of 10 projects in several European
  countries, inter alia
• Kriegers Flak
• Baltic I
• Finngrunden (Sweden, 1000 MW)
• He Dreiht (German North Sea, 595 MW)
• Hochseewindpark Nordsee (German North Sea, 400
  MW)
• Pipeline of more than 5000 MW

Baltic Sea- Baltic I- Kriegers Flak IIIIII-
218012891 320 turbines (up to 1600 MW)
together Europes largest advanced project area
in terms of area, turbines and capacity
developed by WPD since 2000 (Kriegers Flak II
Sweden sold to Vattenfall in 2005)
5
Baltic I

• 21 Turbines up to 78 MW
• Wind speed 8.7 m/s at 95m
• Water depth 16-19 m
• All permissions granted (August 2006)
• Planned start of operation 2009

6
Baltic I - Permissions

• Local proceedings as the project is in
  territorial waters
• General planning permission (Raumordnungsverfahren
  ) granted February 2005
• Permission for wind farm due to Federal Pollution
  Act (BImSchG) March 2006
• Permission for cable due to Federal Pollution Act
  (BImSchG) August 2006
• All needed permissions are granted

Kriegers Flak I

• 80 turbines ( 400 MW)
• Wind speed 9.0 - 9.6 m/s at 100m
• Water depth 20-35m
• All permissions granted (April 2005)

Measuring mast Fino II

• Unique in the Baltic Sea
• Supported by the Federal and Local Government,
  Germanischer Loyd and Offshore Ostsee Wind AG
• Foundation errected October 06

Kriegers Flak II

• Located in the Swedish economic zone
• Project developed by Sweden Offshore Wind AB
  (founded by WPD and WIND-Projekt in 2002)
• Sweden Offshore sold to Vattenfall AB in May 2005
• Permission for 128 x 5 MW granted 29 June 2006
• Further development untill 2007 by WPD
  Scandinavia AB

11
Kriegers Flak III

• Open Door Application filed in August 2006
• 91 turbines
• 3,6 to 5 MW type
• 15 to 20 m deep
• 9,5 m/s at 100m
• 25km to Møn
• ca. 3km to Kriegers Flak II
• ca. 4km to Kriegers Flak I
• Proposal by working group for future windfarms in
  Denmark Kriegers Flak included with 4 proposals
  200 MW each

12
Experiences

• Neighbouring national authorithies want to be
  informed, but do not influence the neighbouring
  project
• Despite the fact that it is one area, the crucial
  points were different in every country
• Germany shipping safety
• Sweden fishermen military
• Denmark national ressources (sand)
• Possibility of transnational transmission network
  attracts utilities (Vattenfall Baltic Wind Link)
• For Kriegers Flak, still some technical issues
  regarding the foundations need to be solved
  strong advantages to have a smaller project to
  start with (Baltic I)

13
Progress expected

• Regarding wind speed, Kriegers Flak seems to be
  the most attractive area in the Baltic Sea FINO
  II measurements will prove
• Technically Kriegers Flak is less challenging
  than a lot of North Sea projects
• WPDs next steps develop, finance, construct and
  operate
• Baltic I (Germany) - in 2007 secure
  windturbines and project finance
• - in 2008 start preparation of construction
  - in 2009 construction of Baltic I, start of
  operation

14
WPD offshore strategy

• Likewise onshore, WPDs aim is to finance,
  construct and operate offshore windfarms
• Building and operating Baltic I as the first
  offshore project in Germany
• Proceeding with Kriegers Flak I (Germany) as one
  of the most promising projects
• Developing a long-term project pipeline towards
  Europe
