Rostock-based company EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH has received an order from the Swedish energy group Vattenfall to produce 41 monopiles for the 344 MW  Vesterhav Syd & Nord offshore wind farms.
The contract was signed on 19 November 2021. Between April 2022 and August 2022, EEW SPC will process a total of around 25,500 tons of steel for the order.


“We are delighted that, following on from the order for the Kriegers Flak project, we can now also produce the monopiles for the Vesterhav project. Even if the COVID numbers are currently rising sharply, we have managed to bring the contract negotiations to a successful conclusion through having online meetings. We would like to thank Vattenfall for the trust that they have placed in us and we look forward to working with them in a mutually good cooperation here too”,
commented Heiko Mützelburg, CEO of EEW SPC.


The two projects will be located 10 km off the West coast of Jutland near Thyborøn (Nord) and Søndervig (Syd) in water depths of approximately 20 metres. Vesterhav Nord will have a capacity of 176.4 MW and will consist of 21
SG 8.0-167 DD turbines, each with a rated power of 8.4 MW. Vesterhav Syd will have a capacity of 168 MW and will consist of 20 turbines.

Vattenfall secured permits for the two Vesterhav wind areas in 2016 for 47.5 øre/kWh (€63.8/MWh). Combined, the projects will supply electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of 350,000 Danish households.
The two offshore wind farms are expected to increase Danish electricity production from wind turbines by approximately 10 percent.
