As of today, Seamade NV will be responsible for the development of both the Mermaid and Seastar areas, which together stand for a total capacity of 487,2 MW, representing approximately a quarter of the currently allocated offshore wind capacity in Belgium. This merged project will allow to finance both projects through one project finance transaction.
The factory roll-out of the first nacelle for the 309 MW Rentel Offshore Wind farm is a fact.
In this new facility, the different parts of the nacelle are assembled in separate production lines for the generator, hub and back end. They are then ‘clicked’ together at the end of the assembly lines, after which rotational and system tests are conducted, all indoor in this giant factory.
