We delivered 160 8VM1 Blue Gis bays to this huge project off the coast of the Netherlands, which is capable of supplying up to three million Dutch households with green energy.

"Being CO₂-neutral is the future and the target for our customers in the offshore wind market, as well as for us at Siemens Energy." – Ann-Sofie Bonde Mortensen, Global Vertical Sales Manager Offshore Wind, Siemens Energy.

This high-voltage substation in Burladingen, southern Germany is the first in the world to be eco-efficient, to operate without SF₆ and to use digitalization to achieve new levels of connectivity.

"The innovation level in this project is very high. The substation of the future is a bold step for us, that requires trust." – Marcel Engel, Netze BW expert for grid development.

The digitally-enabled 145 kV 3AV1 Blue circuit breakers installed at the Hesseln substation incorporate Sensgear^TM, a cloud- based monitoring solution that provides data to improve grid operation, asset management and maintenance.

"The medium-term replacement of the insulating gas SF₆ is an essential component of the decarbonization strategy of our E.ON Group." – Dr. Markus Obergünner, Senior Vice President High Voltage Grid, Westnetz GmbH.
