EEW OSB Produces First Borssele 1&2 Transition Piece

EEW Offshore Structures Britain has produced the first transition piece for the Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea.

The Teesside-based company rolled out the first of 35 transition pieces destined for Ørsted’s Borssele 1&2 project at the beginning of April.

EEW SPC, the parent company of EEW OSB, is in charge of manufacturing 47 monopiles for the 752MW wind farm.

The Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm will comprise 94 Siemens Gamesa 8MW turbines installed some 23km off the coast of Zeeland.

Ørsted plans to have the project commissioned by the end of 2020.
