The 487 MW SeaMade offshore wind farm was officially inaugurated at an event in the Hippodrome in Ostend, Belgium.
SeaMade NV, a joint venture between Otary, Ocean Winds, and Eneco, is responsible for the simultaneous development of both the Mermaid and Seastar offshore wind farms, resulting in the largest wind farm ever financed and built in Belgium.
The wind farm will consist of 58 of Siemens Gamesa’s SG 8.0-167 DD 8MW direct drive offshore wind turbines and generates 1.8TWh of renewable energy per year.
The SeaMade offshore wind project was formed by combining two previous wind farms, including 235MW Mermaid and 252MW Seastar.
DEME is responsible for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the foundations, turbines, inter-array and export cables, as well as for the installation of two offshore substations.
