Das Two Towers-Konsortium, bestehend aus Van Oord, Investri Offshore und Green Giraffe, hat die Ausschreibung für das Windparkgelände von Borssele V gewonnen.

(WK-intern) – MHI Vestas Offshore Wind ist der bevorzugte Lieferant für die Windenergieanlagen.

Borssele V wurde als Innovationsstandort auf dem Gelände III der Borssele Wind Farm Zone ausgewiesen.

Der Offshore-Windpark liegt mehr als 20 Kilometer vor der Küste von Zeeland in den Niederlanden und besteht aus zwei Turbinen mit jeweils 9,5 MW. Der 19 MW Offshore-Windpark wird 2021 in Betrieb gehen und 25.000 Haushalte mit nachhaltiger Energie versorgen. Van Oord ist verantwortlich für das Design und die Offshore-Arbeiten, während Green Giraffe das Projektmanagement und die Finanzierung des Projekts unterstützt. Investri Offshore stellt den Projektleiter zur Verfügung.

Consortium excited with winning tender for Borssele V

Rotterdam, Netherlands – The Two Towers consortium, consisting of Van Oord, Investri Offshore and Green Giraffe, has won the tender for Borssele Wind Farm Site V. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is the preferred supplier for the wind turbines.

Borssele V has been designated as an innovation site, situated within site III of the Borssele Wind Farm Zone. The offshore wind farm is located more than 20 kilometres off the coast of Zeeland, the Netherlands and consists of two turbines of 9.5 MW each. Once operational in 2021, the 19 MW offshore wind farm will provide sustainable energy to 25,000 households. Van Oord is responsible for the design and the offshore works, while Green Giraffe will assist in the project management and financing of the project. Investri Offshore provides the project director.
Innovations

In line with the requirements of the tender to further improve the environmental standards, to contribute to the energy transition towards renewable energy in the Netherlands and to ensure a cost-efficient realisation of the 2030 renewable energy targets, the consortium will implement several innovations. To connect the monopile and transition piece, the innovative ‘slip joint’ technology will be applied. This technology, developed in collaboration with Van Oord, has two major advantages: it is maintenance-free and it reduces installation time, resulting in potential major cost savings. Revolutionary eco-designs used for scour protection will have a positive effect on the maritime environment. Part of the innovation is the use of scour protection in creating reef systems, including oyster reefs, which enables the diversification of the North Sea environment.

By investing in the development of new innovative ideas Van Oord strengthens its leading market position in offshore wind.
