Siemens wins first offshore wind project in Belgium
The 42 Siemens wind turbines will be installed on monopile foundations in water depths ranging from 22 to 36 m.
Siemens has successfully entered the offshore wind market in Belgium with a first order for the 309-MW Rentel wind project. The customer is Rentel NV, part of the Otary partnership, a conglomerate of leading specialists from the Belgian renewable energy industry including investment and development companies.
As part of the agreement, Siemens will supply, install, commission, and service 42 wind turbines of the large direct-drive platform. The output of the Rentel offshore wind-power plant will be sufficient to supply approximately 300,000 households in Belgium with clean power. A long-term service agreement for a period of 17 years will provide customized offshore service and logistics solutions for the turbines, and includes Siemens’ data-driven advanced remote diagnostics and monitoring.
“We are pleased that Rentel NV has selected Siemens for our first project in the Belgian part of the North Sea,” said Michael Hannibal, Offshore CEO of Siemens Wind Power. “The advanced model of our proven direct-drive offshore wind turbine platform and our advanced services will leverage the energy output of the Rentel offshore wind power plant and help to establish offshore wind power as a key pillar of a sustainable energy mix in various European countries.”
The Rentel offshore wind-power plant is located about 40 kilometers off the Belgian North Sea coast. The first turbines are expected to deliver power to the Belgian grid by mid-2018, while the entire offshore project is planned to become fully operational by the end of 2018.
