Windar Renovables has revealed that 90% of the transition pieces for the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm are already completed. Each unit is 15 meters high, 6.5 meters in diameter and weighs 240 tons. 
The process, which includes the manufacture of 50 transitions pieces, is expected to be completed by the end of this year. These parts will require 800 jobs and the participation of thirty local suppliers for a total of 1.3 million hours of work.

Iberdrola's 476 MW Baltic Eagle project is being developed off the island of Rügen, in the German waters of the Baltic Sea. The project, which will span a 40 km2 area, is expected to be completed in 2024 and consists of 50 Vestas V174-9.5MW wind turbines.Baltic Eagle will connect to the Lubmin substation through two high voltage cables. It is Iberdrol's second array to be built in the Baltic Sea. The first was Wikinger.

Last week EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH announced more than half of the total of 50 monopiles have already been completed in steel construction. It is planned to complete their production by the end of November 2022. The installation of the monopiles is then planned for spring 2023 and the completion of the project for 2024.
