Boskalis Wraps Up Moray West Offshore Wind Farm Ops
transition in Scotland, as the offshore wind farm will provide 882 MW of electric power, equivalent to the annual need of up to 1.33 million households once operational,” Boskalis said in a statement.The installed capacity of 882 MW will come from 60 SG 14-222 DD wind turbines to be supplied by Siemens Gamesa.The project is aiming to be generate first power in 2024 with an operational life of over 25 years, according to Ocean Winds, which is a joint venture in charge of the development formed by Engie and EDP Renewables.Under the recent power purchase agreement signed with the developers, Amazon will

energization of the first circuit, Ocean Wind confirmed.In December 2023, Boskalis installed the first offshore substation platform (OSP) for the project using its DP vessel Bokalift1. Two months later, DEME installed the first XXL monopile foundation as part of the project that will feature 60 Siemens Gamesa offshore wind turbines rated at over 14MW.Under the power purchase agreement signed with the developers, Amazon will source 473MW of clean power from the wind farm, which is more than half of its capacity.Siemens Gamesa Rolls Out First Moray West 14MW Offshore Wind Turbine NacellesDEME Installs
Acteon Bags O&M Contract for 228MW German Offshore Wind Farm
UTEC, a geo-services brand in Acteon’s Data and Robotics Division, has secured a three-year contract by Siemens Gamesa for operations and maintenance (O&M) services to the Butendiek offshore wind farmUTEC will provide subsea balance of plant O&M services for the 228 MW offshore wind farm, located in the North Sea around 32 kilometers from the Island of Sylt in Germany.Led by UTEC, the work will be supported with services from Acteon brands Clarus, Deepwater and Seatronics.Under the contract, Acteon will perform annual subsea foundation remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) inspections
First OSS for 2.6GW US Offshore Wind Project Arrives to Denmark
.The project, located approximately 23.5 nautical miles off Virginia Beach, has been approved for construction and operation by the U.S. government in November 2023.U.S. Approves Construction of 2.6 GW Offshore Wind ProjectIt will feature 176 offshore wind turbines, each rated at 14MW, supplied by Siemens Gamesa.DEME Offshore and Prysmian secured Balance of Plant (BoP) contract for the installation services from Dominion Energy.DEME Offshore will be in charge of transport and installation of 176 monopile transition piece foundations, three offshore substations, scour protection and the supply and installation
Markets: The Challenges of Developing Floating Wind at Scale
over 220 meters. Floating wind ports will likely host large submersible barges, to transfer and launch substructures, as well as some extremely large quayside cranes, of which there is currently insufficient supply.Turbine supply: Three western OEMs currently dominate the market outside of China: GE, Siemens Gamesa and Vestas. We anticipate the rise of Asin OEMs, and particularly the Chinese OEMs who are developing 16-18 MM turbines, which only push the potential size of structures even bigger.Dynamic cables: Floating wind projects will feature subsea cables, and particularly the inter-array cables that
Odfjell Oceanwind aims to Help Decarbonize Offshore Drilling with Floating Wind
Like others have said, we believe that the key success factors for driving down the cost will be scale, and also learning. This is why we think it’s so important to get started with production.Can we take a little bit deeper dive into the technology itself and specifically your partnership with Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy? From what I understand, two versions are planned, among the world’s largest.First of all, we have chosen a relatively conventional design for the floating wind foundation, our deep sea semi. This is the technology that we know very well through our 50 years as pioneers
DNV Grants AiP for Odfjell Oceanwind's Floating Wind Foundation Designed for up to 15MW Turbines
and has been developed for low-cost, industrial mass-production. The design basis includes all areas for floating wind farms currently in planning in the North Atlantic region, including Scotwind and Utsira Nord, and covers a range of 60 to 1300 meters water depth. It is optimized for Siemens Gamesa’s SG 11.0-200DD and SG 14.0-222DD offshore wind turbines and is undergoing classification and certification from DNV on that basis. The AiP is part of this ongoing class approval process involving Odfjell Oceanwind, Siemens Gamesa and DNV.“This AiP marks an important milestone for
James Fisher Renewables Nets Offshore Wind UXO Survey Gig in France
Nazaire offshore wind project off the west coast of France, last summer. The project is expected to start in May 2021 and will be completed within two months.The 500 MW, $2.2 billion, offshore wind farm named Fécamp, sanctioned by EDF Renewables, Enbridge, and wpd in June 2020, will feature 71 Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) wind turbines.Project commissioning is scheduled for 2023. The power generated by the wind farm will provide enough annual electricity to meet the power needs for 770,000 people or over 60% of the Seine-Maritime department's population
Favorable Offshore Winds Blowing from the Biden Administration
10 Site Assessment Plans (SAPs) and has 10 Construction and Operations Plans (COPs) under review—with more anticipated. Another major project pending with BOEM is the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project developed by Dominion Virginia Energy. This project will include 188 Siemens Gamesa turbines and will supply 2.6 GW of clean energy to 800,000 Virginia homes and businesses when fully operational in 2026. The commercial CVOW project follows on the two-turbine 12 MW research project—also called CVOW—that is the first offshore wind farm to become operational in federal
