The first of the 62 transition pieces for the 800MW Vineyard Wind project has been transferred from Windar Renovables’ offshore facilities to the port of Aviles in Spain.
The piece was moved on 2 December from the company’s Tadarsa Eolica 4 facility, where it was assembled.

Windar Renovables won the contract to build, certify and deliver the equipment in 2019.
DEME will be responsible for transporting and installing the transition pieces.
Avandgrid, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, is developing the wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts in the US.
The wind farm is 24km south of Martha’s Vineyard and 55km south of the Cape Cod peninsula. It is scheduled to deliver first power in 2023.
