The jacket foundation for TenneT’s Hollandse Kust North platform has been installed off the coast of the Netherlands.
Tennet said the next step is for the ready-made superstructure containing the transformers to be placed on the jacket next May.
The platform will be ready in 2023.
TenneT said that after leaving the port of Vlissingen, the jacket arrived at its destination over 18km off the coast of Egmond in 20 hours.
The 2100-tonne steel structure was then set on the seabed by the cranes on the hoisting vessel Gulliver.
The jacket was secured at the four corner points using piles driven into the seabed to approximately 38 metres, TenneT said.
It said that in anticipation of the placement of the topside, the power cables will be installed that will come ashore on the Heemskerk/Wijk aan Zee beach.
The cables will be laid at a safe depth and connected behind the dunes to the land cables to the new transformer station at Wijk aan Zee, the company added.
