Denmark: In 2021, a Semco Maritime and Bladt Industries consortium was awarded a contract for the supply of three substations for the 2.6 GW CVOW offshore wind project in the US.
The first of three 880 MW offshore substations being built for Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project has arrived at the Bladt Industries production site in Aalborg, Denmark, for outfitting from a prefabrication site in Spain. Denmark-headquartered Bladt Industries will handle the design, procurement, and manufacturing of the steel structures and jacket foundations for the substations, while the design, procurement, and installation of electrical equipment, energy systems, and inter-array cables will be managed by Semco Maritime. Each of the substations will weigh 3,800 tonnes, not including the jacket foundations or the pin piles.
Dominion Energy selected the consortium of DEME Group and Prysmian as the Balance of Plant (BoP) contractors for the transportation and installation of the foundations and the substations and the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) services for the inter-array and export cables for the project. The project will consist of 176 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW wind turbines and three offshore substations in the 112,800-acre commercial lease area about 43 km off the Virginia Beach coast. Construction and fabrication activities are already underway, and the installation of foundations and wind turbines should begin in 2024, with an expected date of completion in 2026.
