Dutch fabricator Sif is to manufacture foundations for Vattenfall’s 1400MW Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind zone off the Netherlands.
The company will deliver 114 monopiles for three of the four array areas with manufacturing at the MV2 facility in Rotterdam to begin in 2020-21.
Two of the projects were already in Sif’s order book under exclusive negotiations. The manufacturer said the subsidy-free project is due online in 2022.
Chief executive Fred van Beers said: “Our manufacturing facilities in Rotterdam are ideally situated for North Sea offshore wind projects. For the Hollandse Kust Zuid project Vattenfall has valued this in their bid evaluations.
He added: “We are grateful for the confidence our client has expressed in their project award to Sif and together with their representatives we will put every effort on the timely delivery of time-critical project- parts.
“Our orderbook for the period 2020- 2021 is now filling up to approximately 300 Kton of which 80 Kton in exclusive negotiations.”
Vattenfall was on Wednesday selected as the winner of the auction to develop the 760MW HKZ 3&4 project. It secured the rights for the 1&2 site in an earlier round.
