General Turbines Windfarms

GE Renewable Energy announced the installation of the 33rd wind turbine at the Merkur Offshore Windfarm.

Installation of remaining 33 GE Haliade 150-6MW turbines are expected to finish in September 2018, while commissioning activities will continue until end of the year.

Last week the wind farm also exported its first 2MW of power to mini-grid during power tests.

In the meantime, the remaining nacelles, blades and tower pieces will be shipped to Eemshaven logistic hub until mid-summer 2018, where local teams will perform pre-assembly works.

The 396MW Merkur wind farm is located approximately 45km north of Borkum Island in the North Sea and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2019. It is anticipated to generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of around 500,000 households annually.
