Balmoral Comtec Expands Workforce Following Rosebank Win
. The modules will be installed on flexible risers and umbilicals. Gary Yeoman, Sales Director at Balmoral Comtec, said, “Rosebank signifies an exciting shift for the future of offshore field development in the UK, with its ambitions to be one of the first UK fields powered with renewable electricity. We’re delighted that as a result of this project we’re actively recruiting for many roles here in Aberdeen and across the UK. While this recruitment effort is driven by our recent award win, the addition of valuable, transferable skills will continue to heighten our expertise

. With its 2.9 GW capacity, this wind farm will become the largest individual offshore wind farm to date and will bring the total capacity of the Hornsea offshore wind zone to 5.4 GW – making the development the world’s largest.The offshore wind farm is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to power the homes of 3.3 million British households.“We are proud to support Ørsted in building the world’s largest individual offshore wind farm by connecting 2.9 GW of renewable energy capacity to the UK’s national grid. Thanks to our collaboration with Ø

said.Last September, the more than 3,600-ton superstructure (topside) of the offshore socket was placed on the jacket for the substation. Almost two years earlier, the first steel cut took place in Antwerp for this second transformer platform built by Equans/Smulders for TenneT. To remind, renewable electricity is already being fed to the grid from the first platform for wind farm Hollandse Kust (north).Ecowende Hires Van Oord to Build 760MW Offshore Wind Farm in Dutch North SeaJan De Nul to Install Second Cable for Hollandse Kust (west Alpha

Sea environment together with TenneT and our partners.”The cable systems of the two grid connections BalWin4 and LanWin1 coming from the offshore converter stations will cross the Wadden Sea and be connected to the extra-high voltage grid in Unterweser. The grid connections will enable renewable electricity from offshore wind farms with a transmission capacity of altogether 4 GW to be fed into the German grid.BalWin4 and LanWin1 are part of the 2GW Program. With its transnational approach and a new standard for offshore grid connection systems, the 2GW Program accelerates European offshore grid

cable, making it the longest HVDC link in the UK. The link will supply a total of 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity, which is enough to power around two million UK households."The link will help to secure power transmission in the northern UK and support the integration of new renewable electricity generation in Scotland, as part of the UK’s Net Zero Strategy. As much as 11,000 MW of offshore wind capacity is possible in Scottish waters by 2030, and HVDC transmission will play a large part in bringing this vast amount of renewable power to shore and south, to communities across
Van Oord Installs 140km of Inter-Array Cables at Hollandse Kust Noord Offshore Wind Farm
produced its first megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity and delivered it to the Dutch mainland. In coming months, production capacity will be constantly increased. Once finished, the wind farm will have a total installed capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3.3 TWh per year. This is enough renewable electricity to meet 2.8% of the Netherlands’ electricity demand.Rosetti Marino to Build Green Hydrogen Platform for Dutch Offshore Wind Far
