Vattenfall has completed turbine installation at the 604MW Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm off the coast of Denmark.
The Swedish company said that, despite the logistical challenges that the Covid pandemic has brought, the schedule for the construction has been kept.
The next steps will be to finalise testing and certification of the project so that it can be inaugurated after the summer.
Danish Kriegers Flak comprises 72 Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines, installed by Jan De Nul 15-40 kilometres off the east coast of Denmark.
The first turbine was installed in February.
Vattenfall head of offshore wind Catrin Jung said: “We are pleased to see that the installation of the turbines has been successfully completed.
“Despite Covid, we have been able to deliver according to plan – actually a little ahead of schedule – which shows that our general strategy to prepare for the unforeseen has proved to be robust.
“We are very satisfied with the cooperation with our partners and proud of the contribution that the farm will make to enabling a fossil-free future.”
Siemens Gamesa offshore chief executive Marc Becker said: “It’s extremely rewarding that we – in the middle of these challenging Covid times – have safely installed all 72 wind turbines ahead of schedule.
“The close collaboration between Siemens Gamesa employees, Vattenfall, and the Port of Roenne has been outstanding.
“We look forward to continuing the great joint efforts on the Danish Kriegers Flak project with all.”
