Wind Energy – OranjeWind
RWE and TotalEnergies have selected the Dutch port of Eemshaven as the base for turbine assembly and construction work for their joint offshore wind project OranjeWind in the North Sea.
To this end, the OranjeWind joint venture has signed an agreement with Buss Terminal Eemshaven.
Thomas Michel, Chief Operating Officer of RWE Offshore Wind: “The choice of construction port is crucial for any offshore wind project. Buss Terminal Eemshaven, with its marshalling and construction facilities, has capabilities that are geared towards the efficient realisation of our OranjeWind project. For this reason, we have decided to use the Buss Terminal for OranjeWind while it’s simultaneously supporting our German Nordseecluster and Danish Thor projects.”
Construction activities at the offshore wind site will start in early 2026. Buss Terminal Eemshaven will facilitate the offloading, storage, handling, and pre-assembly of major components of the turbines and the inter-array cabling for the OranjeWind wind farm.
Turbine installation at the OranjeWind offshore site is scheduled to start in early 2027, with commissioning expected to be fully completed by the end of 2027.
