Orsted has selected UL to deliver project certifications for the turbines and foundations at the 900MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 and 242MW Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farms.
Project certification, part of the licensing process of offshore wind farms located in German waters, will help ensure the design, manufacturing, transport, installation, commissioning and operation complies with the highest standards of safety.
UL wind certification services managing director Kai Grigutsch said: “UL has been at the forefront of global wind certifications for almost 20 years, helping developers navigate the safety, reliability and performance risks for wind projects to meet and exceed the requirements of the market.
“Helping customers deliver projects that perform to the highest standards of safety is critical to every stage of the project life-cycle.
“We are delighted to support Orsted on the realisation of the Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 projects over the coming years.”
Gode Wind 3 is set to go into full commercial operation in 2024, with the commissioning of Borkum Riffgrund 3 following in 2025.
