HSI, a joint venture between HSM Offshore Energy, Smulders and Iv, has installed the Jasmund offshore substation (OSS), which will connect the Windanker offshore wind farm to the German electricity grid, at its designated location in the Baltic Sea.
The Jasmund platform is part of the Ostwind 3 grid connection project, which will collect 300 MW from the Windanker wind farm from October and transmit it to the German grid on land, according to 50Hertz, for which this is the first offshore platform in the Baltic Sea for whose construction and operation the company is the responsible transmission system operator (TSO).
The Jasmund OSS jacket foundation was manufactured by Smulders in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, and sent to the Baltic Sea at the beginning of December 2025, with the topside, manufactured at the HSM Offshore Energy Stormpolder yard near Rotterdam, shipped a few days after the jacket.

In the coming period, offshore testing and commissioning activities will be carried out to prepare the Jasmund OSS for operation, according to HSI Joint Venture, which is delivering the project under a contract covering the full EPCIC scope (engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning).
The expected completion date for the Ostwind 3 grid connection system and the Windanker offshore wind farm, which is being built and operated by Iberdrola, is 30 September 2026, 50 Hertz says.
