RWE AG has completed the installation of a substation for the 342 MW Kaskasi 2 offshore wind farm project located in the North Sea, Germany.
Kaskasi is RWE’s sixth wind farm off the German coast and is being built about 35 kilometers north of the island of Heligoland. The project is currently under construction, and the substation topside of the wind farm is successfully placed on the foundation.
Foundation installation works are underway: with Seaway 7’s Strashnov, DEME’s Neptune and Sea Challenger, and Fred Olsen’s Blue Tern, four vessels are engaged in the installation of a total of 38 monopile foundations for the wind turbines and their transition pieces. The foundations, each 64 meters long, weigh up to 740 tonnes. The operations and processes at the offshore construction site are coordinated by the RWE Control Room on Heligoland. The nautical staff at Ems Maritime Offshore are supporting the RWE team.
