Recruitment company Atlas Professionals has secured a contract with Ørsted to supply personnel for the Borssele 1&2 wind farm project off the coast of the Netherlands.

Atlas's scope covers the supply of trained technical and administrative specialists. Onshore personnel will include site coordinators, document controllers, project management support, and health and safety managers. Offshore personnel will include client representatives, offshore managers, operations support and installation managers. The contract begins December 2018 and will run for five years.

Borssele 1 & 2 — which aims to be completed in 2020 — will be the largest offshore wind farm in The Netherlands and make a substantial difference to the country's renewable energy future. The Netherlands intends to increase its percentage of renewable energy to 14% by 2020 and then 16% by 2023, and Borssele 1 & 2 will be key to achieving these targets. Comprised of approximately 100 offshore wind turbines located 22 kilometers off the coast of Zeeland, they will generate 752 MW of power, which is enough to meet the needs of around one million Dutch households.
Landmark renewables initiative

Says Martine Rondeel, Commercial Manager Renewables, Atlas Professionals: “Borssele 1 & 2 is a landmark renewables initiative for the Netherlands and, as a Dutch-based company, we are proud to have been chosen by Ørsted to supply it with personnel. This is an excellent addition to the several frame agreements we already have in place with Ørsted, and we look forward to providing the company and its suppliers with the skilled, specialist services they need to drive this pioneering project forward.”

Ørsted won the rights to Borssele 1&2 in July 2016 with an average bid strike price of 72.70 EUR/MWh for the first 15 years of the project's operation. The project will have a capacity of 752MW and will feature 94 Siemens Gamesa SG 8.0-167 DD turbines. It is expected to provide power to around 500,000 households once completed.
