Jan De Nul has been awarded the turbine transport and installation scope for the Vesterhav Syd & Nord wind farms in Denmark. The scope covers transport and installation of a total of 41 wind turbines of 8.4 MW each on behalf of Vattenfall Denmark.

The contract between Jan De Nul and Vattenfall includes the design, engineering, manufacturing, procurement and delivery of the Sea-Fastening. Jan De Nul will also be responsible for the engineering of the RAMS for the marine operations related to the wind turbine installation, as well as the transport and installation of the 41 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines using the jack-up installation vessel Vole au Vent.

Both offshore wind farms are located in the Eastern part of the Danish North Sea. The Vesterhav Nord offshore wind farm is based west of the coast of Vejlbi, and the Vesterhav Syd Offshore Wind Farm is located close to the Sondervig coast.

The two offshore wind farms are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2023.

Jan Van Impe, Area Manager Offshore Renewables at Jan De Nul Group, said: “We are very pleased and honoured with this contract award as it confirms once more that Jan De Nul is a trustworthy and experienced partner in offshore wind. After the successful installation of 72 wind turbines for the 604 MW Kriegers Flak wind farm – the largest in Denmark – we are very pleased with the opportunity to build further on our experience together with Vattenfall.”

Bart Willems, Head of Commercial Offshore Wind at Jan De Nul Group, siad: "We are proud to contribute to the energy transition in Europe, more specifically with this ambitious project in Denmark. After the successful commissioning of other Danish wind farms this is another milestone for the production of green electricity for the Danish households. Jan De Nul has the equipment, the experience and the commitment to complete this project successfully.”

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.
