Danish installation contractor A2SEA will install 67 Siemens 6MW turbines at Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm, located off the coast of the seaside town of Cromer in North Norfolk, using their specialist, purpose-built, offshore installation vessel Sea Installer.
The wind farm is joint-owned by Statoil (35 percent), Masdar (35 percent) and Statkraft (30 percent) and will provide approximately 400,000 households with renewable power by 2017 when it is expected to be fully commissioned.
”It is with great pleasure and proudness that we can inform that A2SEA will install the 67 Siemens 6MW turbines on the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm in the UK” said Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO at A2SEA. “We have great experience with installation of the 6MW Siemens turbine from two former projects, and our skilled teams both on board Sea Installer and at the office have secured a solid, efficient and safe solution to install the turbines for Statoil.”
A2SEA has installed more than half of Northern Europe’s offshore wind farms and has been working with Statoil since its first Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm project.
