Back in 2020, Iemants, a subsidiary of Smulders, in a joint venture with ENGIE (now Equans), signed a contract with TenneT to design, engineer, produce, deliver and install the Hollandse Kust West Alpha offshore transformer substation.

A year later, Sea and Land Project Engineering (SLPE) won a contract for the detailed design of the substation jacket and foundations.

The transformer substation for Hollandse Kust West Alpha is scheduled to be fully offshore commissioned in the third quarter of 2023.
