Ballast Nedam has accomplished their scope of labor for the nearshore a part of the wind power undertaking Windplanblauw. The undertaking has now been handed over to the shopper SwifterwinT and Vattenfall.
Windplanblauw is a repowering undertaking within the municipalities of Dronten and Lelystad through which 74 previous wind generators are changed by 61 new and extra highly effective wind generators, 24 of that are situated outdoors the dykes within the IJsselmeer and 37 on land. The 24 wind generators within the water are onshore wind generators of kind GE Cypress 5.5 MW. Every of the 24 wind generators will generate about 6 MW of energy: 5.4 megawatts of additional energy in comparison with the previous generators of the Irene Vorrink Park.

Distinctive cofferdam building
For this undertaking, Ballast Nedam developed a singular resolution for putting in land generators on water, by combining the higher construction of the inspiration resolution – usually used on land – with the decrease construction of a marine resolution. This creates a cofferdam building that types the premise for the turbine foundations. On this means, we’re making use of a confirmed method with this distinctive cofferdam building.
The set up of the wind generators, kind V162-5.6 MW, for the onshore a part of the undertaking was already accomplished in November 2022. In complete, the wind farm has an put in capability of over 335 MW.
