Germany: Parkwind and Bladt Industries have signed an agreement for the design, fabrication, and installation of the Arcadis Ost 1 substation in the German Baltic Sea.
Bladt Industries is to deliver the complete substation for Parkwind, with Semco Maritime and ISC Engineering as key partners. Semco Maritime will be responsible for the design and implementation of the entire electrical systems, while ISC Engineering is responsible for the structural design.
“In the context of a global crisis, this signature and the imminent start of the works at Bladt, demonstrate Parkwind’s unwavering commitment to successfully deliver the Arcadis Ost 1 project in line with the plan set more than a year ago,” said Parkwind’s Project Manager, Clément Helbig de Balzac.
”We are convinced that the team composed of Parkwind, Bladt and 50Hertz brings the expertise needed to deliver the transformation platform of the highest HSSE and quality standards. The shared substation will become the heart of Arcadis Ost 1 Offshore Windfarm, supplying the German grid with green energy for up to 300,000 households.”
The platform is jointly developed and will be jointly operated with 50Hertz, the responsible Transmission System Operator for connecting the offshore wind farms in the German Baltic Sea.
Parkwind expects to start installation activities at the Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm in 2022. The wind farm lies 19 km off the island of Rugen.
