The ‘Hollandse Kust (west Alpha)’ substation has left the gigantic 300T hall for the yard where the work can continue.
This substation will have a capacity of 700 MW and will have its definitive place 50 km off the coast of Egmond aan Zee in The Netherlands.
The offshore transformer platform is being constructed by a joint venture between Iemants, a subsidiary of Smulders, and Equans (formerly known as ENGIE), under a contract with TenneT signed in 2020.
