More favourable weather conditions and less waves have really jump-started the wind turbine installation in Anholt Offshore Wind Farm. At the end of April, a total of 97 wind turbines had been installed in the wind farm. Now, only 14 wind turbines need to be installed before all 111 wind turbines have been installed.
Of the 97 installed wind turbines, the installation vessel Sea Power has so far installed 39 wind turbines, and Sea Worker has installed 31 wind turbines. The installation vessels Sea Installer and Sea Jack installed 14 and 13 wind turbines, respectively, and have now left for other projects.
The better weather conditions have resulted in long consecutive working periods for the installation vessels. Around the turn of the month March/April, the vessels succeeded in installing 20 wind turbines in only two weeks; therefore, it will be realistic to complete the installation of all the wind turbines in May.
All components for the rest of the wind turbines have been supplied to Siemens’ pre-assembly site at Grenaa Harbour.
