NEMO represents a substantial technological leap compared to current offshore wind turbines, bringing significant innovations to the market in its components and manufacturing processes. The project will implement an advanced and integrated manufacturing process in Siemens Gamesa facilities in the three European countries. Each of these manufacturing sites will be focused on specific components: nacelles will be produced in Cuxhaven (Germany), and blades will be manufactured in Aalborg (Denmark) and Le Havre (France). Within its first ten years of operation, NEMO’s wind turbines will generate enough renewable electricity to power approximately 1.2 million average Danish households, avoiding 11,886,440 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
The project will contribute to the development of the next generation of offshore wind farms. It represents an important step towards a more environmentally friendly future, fully in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the REPowerEU Plan. In addition, NEMO will contribute to the competitiveness and autonomy of the European offshore wind power industry.
The project will create direct and indirect jobs. It will also contribute to further developing Siemens Gamesa’s industrial footprint, as it offers a high level of scalability considering the expected exponential growth of the offshore wind market in Europe.
