The 144MW Westermeerwind offshore wind farm at IJsselmeer off the Netherlands coast has been officially opened by the Dutch Economy Minister Henk Kamp.
The project (pictured) consists of 48 Siemens 3MW turbines and delivered first power to the Dutch grid in November last year.
Van Oord and Mammoet, together with Siemens, installed the turbines, while VBMS took the cabling work.
Siemens will maintain the wind farm for a minimum period of 15 years.
Westermeerwind has already generated about 220GWh of electricity, the operator said.
