Germany: Senvion contracts MPI Enterprise for turbine installation on Nordsee One

MPI’s wind turbine installation vessel, MPI Enterprise, will perform offshore transportation and installation of all 54 Senvion 6.2M-126 turbines. Operations will take place in waters up to 29 metres deep, with work scheduled to commence in early 2017.

When commissioned, the Nordsee One field will provide power to more than 400,000 households. Located approximately 40 km north of Juist Island, the wind farm covers an area of about 41 square kilometres and is expected to be operational in late 2017. Nordsee One is owned by Northland Power Inc. (85%) and RWE International SE (15%).

MPI Offshore would like to thank the Senvion project team for its open and constructive attitude in working towards this positive outcome and looks forward to starting preliminary work on the project. MPI’s preparations will ensure smooth and effective execution of the offshore turbine installations next year.

We are confident that MPI Enterprise will make a valuable contribution to the realisation of the Nordsee One Offshore Wind Farm, a project that will benefit all parties involved and the German offshore-wind industry in general. We wish the vessel and her crew safe and successful operations.
