Statoil awarded engineering contracts to Siemens for the Dudgeon wind farm off the British coast, which will be ready by 2017. The new turbine contract will secure planned progress in the Dudgeon project towards full operation during 2017. Siemens secured two contracts from Statoil for the supply and assembly of 67 wind turbine generators for the Dudgeon wind farm.

Statoil estimates the value for both contracts at $848 million. There was no comment from Siemens on the deal.
