Topside of Offshore Substation for RENTEL Wind Farm Installed

The 1100 tonnes substation will collect and export the power generated by the wind turbines at the 309 MW Rentel Offshore Windfarm in the Belgian North Sea. It is located 40 km from Ostend and will comprise 42 Siemens turbines with an individual peak capacity of 7.35 MW, producing 309 MW at peak conditions.

The substation transforms the produced wind energy to 220 kV high voltage and conducts the electricity to the main land, in order to deliver Belgian green energy to consumers.

As from mid-2018, the Rentel wind farm will produce green energy for 300,000 households.
