Navantia Seanergies -Windar Renovables is to build 21 monopiles for Iberdrola’s Windanker offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea for Iberdrola.
Windanker will be located in German waters and will have a capacity of 315MW once it is commissioned in 2026, incorporating 15MW new generation turbines that will supply the German electricity market.
This is the 4th monopile order for Navantia-Windar and the 2nd that Iberdrola has contracted from the consortium for this type of foundation.
The structures will be built in the new facilities at the shipyard in Fene, A Coruña.
The manufacture of the 21 pieces will involve 420,000 hours over 10 months, generating around 210 jobs between Navantia-Windar Renovables and collaborating auxiliary industry.
Each substructure will have a maximum size of 84 metres in length, 10 metres in diameter and 2,100 tonnes in weight.
Navantia Seanergies -Windar Renovables said the new contract “demonstrates its leadership and adds a new contract to those already awarded for a value of more than 1,000 million euros, thus consolidating a relationship of more than 9 years with Iberdrola, with orders for its offshore wind farms in the UK, Germany, France, and the US”.
