A consortium led by Seatrium and GE Vernova will probably be developing its third offshore wind venture within the Netherlands for Dutch transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT, with the development work commencing on 1 June 2024.
In March 2023, Seatrium was awarded a five-year framework cooperation settlement with GE Vernova by TenneT for the availability three high-voltage direct present (HVDC) electrical transmission methods for offshore wind initiatives within the Netherlands.
Every venture is valued at roughly EUR 2 billion, with a complete mixed capability of 6 GW as a part of TenneT’s offshore grid acceleration programme.
Seatrium’s scope of labor will embrace the engineering, procurement, building, transportation, set up, and commissioning of the two GW HVDC offshore converter platform for TenneT.
In keeping with Seatrium, the platform will contribute to TenneT’s objective of putting in 40 GW of offshore wind power within the German and Dutch North Seas and can serve the NWBE (previously named Nederwiek 2) offshore wind farm, situated roughly 95 kilometres off the coast of the Netherlands.
Like the primary two HVDC initiatives awarded to Seatrium final March, the corporate will work with its consortium accomplice, GE Vernova’s Grid Options. The contract award of NWBE is predicted to be on 1 June 2024, after the completion of sure deliverables by each Seatrium and GE Vernova within the coming months.
“With this newest venture, Seatrium is at present engaged on 5 HDVC offshore Converter Platforms, making a franchise for series-built alternatives in HVDCs to attain larger synergies from venture repeatability,” mentioned Samuel Wong, Govt Vice President, Mounted Platforms.
TenneT’s next-generation, 2 GW grid connections within the Netherlands are scheduled to be accomplished between 2028 and 2030.
The Netherlands goals to have 21 GW of working offshore wind capability by 2030, akin to round 75 per cent of the nation’s present electrical energy consumption.
