The Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm is developed by the Belgian offshore wind specialist Parkwind and has a capacity of 257 MW. The wind farm will be located in the Baltic Sea, northeast of the island of Rügen in the coastal waters of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Manufactured by Steelwind in Germany, the 28 XXL monopile foundations will be about 100 metres long and weigh around 2000 tonnes each, making them the largest ever installed in Europe. One of the 28 foundations will support the offshore substation. The monopiles for the wind turbines will not be equipped with common transition pieces but will have a direct connection with the turbine tower.
DEME Offshore has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for the foundations at Parkwind’s 257MW Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind project.
The project will use next-generation XXL monopiles, the largest ever installed in Europe, with production starting in 2021.
The installation campaign is planned to start before the summer 2022, with full commissioning scheduled in 2023.
The Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm will be located in the Baltic Sea, north east of the island of Rugen in the coastal waters of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
The 28 monopiles, manufactured by Steelwind in Germany, will be about 100 m long and weigh around 2000 tonnes each.
