GeoSea Halfway Through Nordsee One Foundation Installation

The 27th monopile and its corresponding transition piece were installed at Nordsee One on 7 March, according to the consultancy company Con4Mare.

This means that GeoSea, which is in charge of the installation of all monopiles and transition pieces at the wind farm’s site, has finished 50% of the work.

The work is being carried out from the installation vessel Innovation, and is expected to be completed in May.

The 332MW Nordsee One offshore wind farm is located in German territorial waters in the North Sea, 40 kilometers north of Juist Island. It is expected to be operational in 2017, and to generate over 1,300 gigawatt hours of electricity per year, enough to meet the needs of 400,000 German households.

The wind farm will comprise 54 Senvion turbines and is owned by Northland Power Inc. (85%) and RWE Innogy GmbH (15%).
