Construction starts for 759 MW Offshore wind farm in Netherlands
Van Oord has started the construction of the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind project located 18.5 kilometres off the west coast of the Netherlands near Egmond aan Zee. The company installed the first monopile which is the foundation of wind turbines. Over the next few months, a total of 70 monopiles will be installed.
The wind farm will have an installed capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3.3 TWh per year. This equals enough renewable electricity for more than 1 million Dutch households.
CrossWind, a joint-venture between Shell and Eneco had selected Van Oord for the design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the foundations, inter array cables and transportation and installation of the wind turbines in 2020. For the installation of the monopiles, Van Oord is teaming up with DEME who will deploy its offshore installation vessel Innovation.
Once operational in 2023, the wind farm will supply power to Amazon Inc., which will acquire 380 MW of the entire capacity.
