Van Oord for Luchterduinen windfarm
Energy supplier Eneco has selected Van Oord as preferred supplier for the construction of the Eneco Luchterduinen offshore windfarm (formerly known as Q10).
The windfarm will be built 23km off the coast of Zandvoort in The Netherlands. The contract, which has a value of €50m, is expected to be signed in the autumn of this year. The windfarm will consist of 43 Vestas V112 wind turbines.
Construction of Eneco Luchterduinen will start in July 2014. The windfarm will be operational in the second half of 2015. As EPC contractor, Van Oord will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and installation of foundations, the complete electrical infrastructure, including the offshore high voltage station, and installation of the wind turbines.
Aeolus, Van Oord’s offshore wind turbine transport and installation vessel, will be deployed to carry out the work. At the moment the vessel is under construction and will be operational early 2013.
