Windar Renovables and Navantia Seanergies have manufactured the last of 45 monopiles for ScottishPower Renewables’ 1.4GW East Anglia 3 wind farm off east England.
The 1,800-tonne bases were fabricated at a factory at the Navantia shipyard in Fene, A Coruna, that is jointly operated by both companies in the alliance.
The remaining 50 foundations for the 95-turbine array are being manufactured by Haizea.
Jack-up Seaway Ventus has currently installed 37 monopiles and Windar Renovables-produced transition pieces, according to the latest project update.
They will support 95 Siemens Gamesa 14.7MW turbines that are due to be commissioned next year.
“We are delighted to see this collaboration with Iberdrola (SPR) come to fruition, allowing us to contribute to the generation of clean energy while supporting industrialisation and creating employment and wealth in a strategic sector in Europe,” said Navantia Seanergies Director Javier Herrador.
Meanwhile, Windar Renovables Executive Chairman Orland Alonso praised “the extraordinary work carried out by all individuals and companies involved in this order to meet the needs of a top-tier client like Iberdrola, which is positioning Spain at the global forefront of renewable energies”.
