Installation of the jacket foundation for Elia's Modular Offshore Grid (MOG) has been completed. The operation was executed using Oleg Strashnov, operated by Seaway Heavy Lifting. Works are now underway to prepare it for the installation of the topside.

Installation follows the jacket's load-out onto a transportation barge on the 24th October 2018 in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. The Jacket is 50m tall and weighs approximately 1500 ton and was manufactured by Heerema Fabrication Group. The topside of the platform is scheduled to be installed in the second quarter of 2019. It also being constructed by Heerema Fabrication Group at its facility in Zwijndrecht, Belgium.

The MOG includes the installation of an offshore platform to provide connections for four offshore wind farms, Rentel, Northwester 2, Mermaid and Seastar. It will be located approximately 40km from the coast of Zeebrugge. Three 220kV submarine cables will link the platform with the Stevin substation in Zeebrugge, so that the produced wind energy can be integrated into the Belgian national grid. The MOG is scheduled to be operational from the third quarter of 2019.
