Gennaker Offshore Substation Jackets Loaded Out in Netherlands
The jackets for the two offshore substations that will connect Skyborn Renewables’ Gennaker offshore wind farm in Germany have been loaded out at yards in the Netherlands.
The OSS Zingst jacket was loaded out at HSM Offshore Energy’s yard in Schiedam, while the OSS Darß jacket was loaded out at the Smulders yard in Vlissingen.
The two substations are part of 50Hertz’s OST-6-1 grid connection, which will transmit electricity from Gennaker in the German Baltic Sea to the onshore transmission network.
The HSI Joint Venture, comprising HSM Offshore Energy, Smulders and Iv, is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, transport and installation, and commissioning of the two offshore substations and their jacket foundations.
