First power achieved at Blauwwind project

The 731.5 MW Borssele III/IV offshore wind project has achieved first power, a result of close collaboration between the Blauwwind project partners and the supply chain. The turbine installation campaign began in late May 2020 and has now seen 36 of the 77 V164-9.5 MW MHI Vestas turbines secure at the site.

Borssele III/IV is due for completion in October 2020 and when fully installed, will supply enough clean renewable energy to power over 825,000 Dutch households, accounting for up to 2.3% of total Dutch electricity demand.

“With the Borssele III/IV offshore wind project now online and delivering electricity to the grid, Dutch consumers can be certain they are moving towards a clean energy future. The collaborative efforts of all project partners has enabled MHI Vestas to install 36 of the largest turbines in the world on schedule, despite a myriad of challenges arising from Covid-19. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Blauwwind project partners as we move towards completion of the project later in 2020.”

Laurens van Pijkeren, MHI Vestas Project Director.

“I am proud of the team that has managed the safe execution and the commissioning phase, achieving first power on time. Keeping a project of this scale and complexity on track in these challenging times can only be managed through good collaboration and flexibility. The delivery of first power has been achieved in close collaboration with partners Van Oord, MHI Vestas and TenneT, who has provided grid readiness one month ahead of time.”

Roeland Borsboom, Project Director and CEO for Blauwwind.

Throughout the rest of the installation campaign, it is anticipated that one additional turbine will become operational per day, following control testing. Following installation and full commissioning, MHI Vestas also holds a 15-year service agreement to operate and maintain the Borssele III/IV project.
