As reported earlier, Sif Holding and EEW SPC will manufacture and deliver 47 monopiles each. EEW OSB is tasked with producing 35 transition pieces for the project.

The monopile foundations will support 94 Siemens Gamesa 8MW wind turbines to be installed some 22 kilometers off the coast of Zeeland.

GeoSea will transport and install the foundations and A2SEA, part of GeoSea, will provide installation vessel capacity to transport and install the wind turbines.

The inter-array cables will be transported and installed by Van Oord.

The commissioning of the wind farm is scheduled for the end of 2020.
