Wind Energy – Ostwind 3
The joint venture (JV) consisting of HSM Offshore Energy, Smulders and Iv-Offshore & Energy have won the tender for the Ostwind 3 offshore high voltage substation project for the German grid operator 50Hertz.
The joint venture will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of the substation and jacket.
The Ostwind 3 offshore high voltage substation is located northeast of the island of Rügen, which is about 100 kilometers off the coast of the German town of Lubmin. The substation has a planned capacity of 300 megawatts (MW), which will provide electricity for around 260.000 households. It’s the eight platform with 50Hertz involvement in the Baltic Sea.
The JV has already started the engineering. Later in 2023, the prefabrication and construction of the offshore high voltage substation and jacket will take place at construction yards in Belgium and the Netherlands.
