The Blauwwind consortium has completed turbine installation at the over 731MW Borssele 3&4 offshore wind farm off the coast of the Netherlands.
Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus installed the 77 MHI Vestas V164-9.5MW machines.
Blauwwind project director Roeland Borsboom said: “Good project execution starts with great preparation and planning; the start date of turbine installation was picked in 2017 and met precisely on the day in May this year.
“Overcoming many additional challenges in this extraordinary year required even more collaboration between all key parties, and led to a successful completion of the installation phase.”
First power was delivered from the project in August.
Blauwwind said the final set of turbines will now be commissioned and tested in preparation for full power generation.
