ScottishPower Renewables has signed contracts with Sif for the supply of 64 monopiles, and with a joint venture between Sif and Smulders for the supply of 64 transition pieces for the East Anglia Two offshore wind farm.
The monopiles will be manufactured in Sif’s newly expanded production facilities at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The transition pieces will be manufactured in Sif’s production facilities in Roermond, the Netherlands (primary steel), and Smulders’ production facilities in Hoboken, Belgium (outfitting). The monopiles and transition pieces will be loaded out to installation or transport vessels from Sif’s Maasvlakte 2 deepsea quay.
Production of the monopiles and transition pieces will start in the second half of 2026. The project was already in Sif’s and Smulders’s order books for 2026 under exclusive negotiations and is now final, bringing Sif’s order book for 2026 to 210 kilotonnes in firm contracts.
East Anglia Two will be located almost 33 kilometres off the Suffolk coast and is expected to supply up to 960 MW of offshore wind energy.
