LR certification for one of Europeâs biggest windfarms
The Blauwwind consortium, which includes Partners Group, Shell, Eneco, Diamond Generation Europe (DGE) and Van Oord, has been awarded a project certificate from Lloyd’s Register (LR) for its Borssele III & IV offshore windfarm, located 22km off the Dutch coast. This certification enables Blauwwind to move into the operational phase of the project, LR said in its media release.
The windfarm, which comprises 77 wind turbines on monopile foundations with an installed capacity of 731.5MW, will produce enough power to provide approximately 825,000 households in the Netherlands with renewable electricity and make up 2.3% of the country’s total electricity demand.
