Seatrium helps deliver Dutch offshore wind goals
Seatrium Limited is commencing work on its third two gigawatt (GW) High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) electrical transmission for The Netherlands.
It’s Seatrium’s third system as per its five-year Framework Cooperation Agreement with the companies to supply three HVDC electrical transmission systems for the country’s offshore windfarm projects.
“This project underscores our commitment to helping our customers achieve their renewable energy goals by providing innovative and cost-effective solutions that help accelerate the energy transition,” said Samuel Wong, executive vice president, fixed platforms, Seatrium.
With this latest project, Seatrium is currently working on five HDVC offshore Converter Platforms, creating a franchise for series-built opportunities in HVDCs to achieve greater synergies from project repeatability.”
Offshore grid acceleration
Each HVDC system is valued at €2 billion, with a total combined capacity of 6GW as part of TenneT’s offshore grid acceleration programme.
Seatrium’s scope of work will include the engineering, procurement, construction, transportation, installation and commissioning of the 2GW HVDC Offshore Converter Platform for TenneT.
The offshore converter platform will contribute to TenneT’s sustainability ambition of installing 40GW of offshore wind energy in the German and Dutch North Seas.
It will serve the NWBE (formerly named as Nederwiek 2) offshore windfarm, located approximately 95 kilometres off the coast of Netherlands.
Like the first two HVDC projects awarded to Seatrium last March, the Group will be working with its consortium partner, GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions.
The contract award of NWBE is expected to be on 1 June 2024, after the completion of certain deliverables by both Seatrium and GE Vernova in the coming months.
Sembcorp Marine and Keppel Offshore & Marine formed Seatrium in 2023.
