CG has been awarded a contract from the Belgian offshore wind farm operator Northwind to provide operation and maintenance services for the 216MW wind farm offshore substation on the Lodewijk bank, 40 kilometres off the Belgian coast.
This order follows a previous contract won by CG at the Northwind offshore wind farm for the grid connection study and supply of a 275 MVA main transformer and two reactors of 65 MVA. CG will provide complete end-to-end services in order to monitor, maintain and repair the offshore substation and ensure optimal availability and safety for ten years. The remote surveillance and monitoring service operated by CG will include power adjustments and will secure the operation of the Northwind installations on a 24x7 basis. In addition, CG will also provide preventive and corrective maintenance through its dedicated offshore specialised service team.

Boskalis awarded contract for Wikinger offshore wind farm
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) in partnership with Volker Stevin International (VolkerWessels) have been awarded a contract by Iberdrola Renewables Offshore Deutschland GmbH for the partial construction of the Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm in the German section of the Baltic Sea. The work comprises the transport and installation of seventy wind turbine foundations and six offshore substation piles. The contract carries a value of approximately € 75 million for Boskalis. The Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm is located 34 kilometers northeast of the island of Rügen and will generate a total capacity of 350 MW. Each of the seventy wind turbine foundations consists of a four legged jacket and four piles that will be transported from four different locations in Europe to Sassnitz-Mukran in Germany. Following the transport from Sassnitz-Mukran to the wind farm the piles will be driven into the seabed after which the jackets will be installed and connected to the piles. The project is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2016 with completion expected in the fall of 2016.
