NnG’s 54 turbine towers will be assembled at the Port of Dundee before being placed on a specialist wind turbine installation vessel alongside nacelles and turbine blades which will transport them to, and install, the turbines at the site of the offshore wind farm.
The 54 jacket foundations, on which the Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines will sit, will be installed this year.
