GEO to Survey Danish Nearshore Wind Farms

Danish engineering consultancy GEO has won a contract to carry out geotechnical and geophysical offshore site investigation works for Vattenfall’s nearshore wind farms Vesterhav Nord and Vesterhav Syd off Denmark.

Vattenfall secured the rights to build the two nearshore wind farms in September 2016 with the lowest bid of DKK 0.475/kWh (around EUR 0.064 per kWh).

The two wind farms have a combined capacity of 350MW and are located outside Hvide Sande and Thyborøn on the west coast of Jutland.

Vattenfall plans to start building the two wind farms in 2019, with the full commissioning scheduled for 2020.
