The first electricity has been generated by the Belgian offshore wind farm Norther. Only 7 months ago, Van Oord started with the installation of the first foundation and already the first power is delivered to the grid.
As main contractor, Van Oord started the offshore execution in August 2018. The modified offshore installation vessel Aeolus has installed all 45 foundations at the designated locations in a record time. Recently, the placement of the first wind turbines followed. The offshore wind farm will be fully operational in the summer of 2019.
