Wind Energy – Nordseecluster
Dutch offshore installation firm Van Oord has started scour protection works at RWE Nordseecluster offshore wind farm, kicking off the offshore construction for the first phase of the 1.6GW project.
The scour protection provides full protection for the monopiles that will be installed later this year.
The works are being executed by Van Oord’s flexible fallpipe vessel Stornes.
In a later phase, Van Oord plans to deploy its brand-new offshore installation vessel Boreas to carry out the foundation installation.
Built by RWE, the Nordseecluster offshore wind project will consist of Nordseecluster A with 660 MW, which is expected to be operational in 2027, and Nordseecluster B with a further 900 MW, which will follow in 2029.
