Vattenfall erects 1st turbine at 1.5 GW Hollandse Kust Zuid in the North Sea
The first turbine of the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm has been installed. With good visibility, the wind farm can now be seen from the coast.
The installation of the first turbines started with the loading of the turbine components from the quay on the Maasvlakte. The installation vessel Wind Osprey from Cadeler loaded parts for four turbines on board: four masts, four turbine nacelles and twelve turbine blades.
At the same time the second phase of the construction project has started after the winter break. In all, 140 turbines are to be installed. Now the piling of the remaining 104 foundations will commence. Seaway's vessel Strashnov will carry and install three foundations at a time while the Jumbo ship Fairplayer will place the platform on the foundation after the foundation has been installed. This summer, all foundations will be anchored to the North Sea bed.
The Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm is being built by Vattenfall and is owned by Vattenfall, BASF and Allianz.
