DanTysk Offshore Wind Farm

Our client
The DanTysk wind farm is a joint venture between Vattenfall Europe Windkraft GmbH and Stadtwerke München GmbH. Vattenfall is responsible for the construction and operation of the wind farm located some 70 kilometres to the west of the island of Sylt in the German North Sea. Vattenfall has previously partnered with Van Oord on the wind farm project Alpha Ventus, the first offshore wind farm in Germany.

Our work
The agreed services with Van Oord encompass design, delivery, laying, pull-in and burial of the 88 cables to the steel foundations. The cabling has a total length of 111 kilometres. The infield cabling connects the 80 wind turbines with the offshore transformer station. Van Oord's equipment is capable of carrying the entire cable length in four shipments from the fabrication yard of Parker Scanrope in Norway to the DanTysk site.

Our result
The DanTysk wind farm will have 80 wind turbines (Siemens 3.6 MW) and a total capacity of 288 megawatts. The wind turbines can generate electricity for up to 500,000 households. The laying work will begin in the spring of 2013 and be completed around six months later.
