This marks the completion of the third and final 700 MW platform built by the Smulders-Equans joint venture for its client TenneT Netherlands.

“In total, this is the seventh and, for the time being, last connection for an offshore wind farm that TenneT is developing via this 700 MW standard. Meanwhile, TenneT has started the new 2 gigawatt grid connection concept in both the Netherlands and Germany, with which we will connect wind farms to the high-voltage grid from 2028,” said Marco Kuijpers , Director of Large Projects Offshore at TenneT.
