Bladt Industries to supply offshore substations for 2.6 GW Offshore wind farm in USA
Dominion Energy has awarded a turnkey contract to a consortium of strategic partners Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime for the world’s largest offshore wind project so far – Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind.
The contract comprises three 880 MW offshore substations, which will be established in 2021-2025 and commissioned in 2026. The three substations will constitute the backbone of the electrical infrastructure for the 2.6 GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.
The scope of work on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project includes design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and installation. Bladt Industries will supply 176 transition pieces for the wind farm and is responsible for design, procurement and manufacturing of steel structures and jacket foundations, while design, procurement and installation of electrical equipment, emergency systems and inter-array cables will be managed by Semco Maritime.
The 2.6 GW Wind project will be established 40 kilometers off Virginia Beach, supplying up to 660,000 households in Virginia and eliminating up to 5 million tons of CO2 emissions per year. The project is furthermore expected to generate up to 900 jobs in the local area during the construction phase and up to 1,100 jobs when the wind park is commissioned in 2026.
