Rentel Puts Turbine Kit on Display

Rentel NV is holding an Open Yard Day for the Rentel offshore wind farm on 6 May in the Port of Ostend, Belgium.

The public will be able to access the construction site of the Rentel offshore wind farm from 10:00 until 17:00 local time, as well as take a tour in-between the tower parts, nacelles and blades, the developer said.

In addition, the visitors will have the opportunity to discover how offshore wind farms are built and learn about the daily challenges engineers face.

Currently, the wind turbines for the Rentel wind farm are being assembled in the Port of Ostend, after which they will be installed at the offshore site in the Belgian North Sea.

The 309MW offshore wind farm is expected to deliver first power to the grid by mid-2018, with the entire wind farm scheduled to become fully operational by the end of the year.

Rentel NV, a consortium of eight Belgian shareholders, including Otary Offshore Energy, DEME Group and Elicio NV, is developing the wind farm.
