ASM Industries has started fabricating offshore wind tower sections for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) for Windpark Fryslân.

Fabrication activities are taking place at ASM Offshore's facility in Aveiro Port, and will continue over the next few months. The company will manufacture 42 tower sections.

“This is a very important milestone achieved. Our new facility has successfully been commissioned and ramped up, and this project is one more step towards our strategy to be involved in the most challenging and demanding projects in the offshore industry, cooperating together with the major leading companies, such as SGRE, contributing actively for the Energy Transition,”
commented Adelino Costa Matos, CEO.

Located in the IJsselmeer, near Breezanddijk,
Windpark Fryslân will be the world's largest wind farm to be built in an inland waterway. The project will feature 89 Siemens Gamesa SWT-DD-130 turbines, each with a 4.3 MW capacity and 180 metres high.

Once the project is built, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy will be responsible for its maintenance and management for 16 years. With a capacity of 382.7 MW,
Windpark Fryslân will provide sufficient energy for approximately 500,000 households. Eneco has signed a 15-year PPA for the 1,500 GWh/year wind farm. In their contract, Eneco and Windpark Fryslân have agreed that large consumers of energy in the province of Fryslân will also have the option of purchasing sustainable energy from the wind farm.
