Wind energy – Sweden
The Geophysical and Environmental Survey for the Södra Midsjöbanken offshore wind project in Sweden has been successfully completed.
Despite some tough winter conditions in the Baltic Sea the project reached this important milestone before the end of the year together with the Dutch contractor N-Sea Group and the Hydrograf vessel.
Both the offshore site and cable corridors were surveyed during the offshore campaign.
N-Sea’s project manager James Metcalf, states that the success factors have been the excellent teamwork and high-level professionalism shown by all those onboard.
RWE’s project manager, Anton Andersson, adds: “We are very pleased with the work performed. We will now use the data collected at site to continue the permitting process and further development of the project in close dialogue with all relevant stakeholders.”
With a planned installed capacity of up to 1,600 MW the Södra Midsjöbanken Offshore Wind Farm will have the capability to deliver as much as 5% of Sweden’s total electrical consumption.
