Last week, Bladt Industries A/S loaded out the last six transition pieces and anode cages for the Borssele 1 & 2 offshore wind farm project in the Netherlands. The units have left the company's fabrication facility in Aalborg, Denmark.


Bladt Industries' scope covered the manufacture of 59 transition pieces in total. Each one weighing approximately 390 tonnes, with a diameter of up to 6.0 m and a length of 26 m. Sif, EEW SPC, EEW OSB also supported the fabrication of foundations which are being installed by DEME Offshore.


Installation is progressing at the
Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm located off the Dutch coast with foundations and array cable being installed. Turbine installation is expected to commence in April.  Ørsted won rights to the Borssele 1&2 site in July 2016, with an average bid strike price, excluding transmission costs, of EUR 72.70/MWh for the first 15 years of the project's operation. The project will consist of 94 Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SG 8.0-167 DD turbines, with a combined capacity of 752 MW. It is located 23 km off the coast of Zeeland (Westkappele), and is expected to provide power to over 500,000 households once completed. The project should be fully commissioned by the end of the year.
