CG, along with its consortium partners, has been awarded a US$ 44 million contract for the construction of an offshore HV substation in the Netherlands from Van Oord Offshore Wind Projects BV.
CG, in consortium with Cofely Fabricom and Iemants, will design, deliver and install the high voltage offshore substation for the Luchterduinen project. The Luchterduinen offshore wind farm is located 23 kilometres from the Dutch coast between Noordwijk and Zandvoort and has an installed production capacity of 129MW. CG will design, engineer and manufacture the overall electrical system. The delivery will include all electrical engineering work, two step-up power transformers, medium voltage and high voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS), auxiliary/earthing transformers, an MV reactor, and the SCADA/control and protection system for the substation. The project is expected to be completed by August 2015.
