en.Wedoany.com Reported - Glamox has secured a contract to supply lighting equipment for the onshore substation of the IJmuiden Ver Alpha 2 GW offshore wind project in the Netherlands. Located in Borsele, Zeeland province, this substation is the first of eight planned in the Netherlands, designed to convert alternating current generated by offshore wind turbines—transformed into direct current via offshore high-voltage direct current (HVDC) platforms—back into 380 kV alternating current for input into the Dutch high-voltage grid after converting 525 kV DC. A similar substation will also be built in Germany.

This onshore substation contract follows Glamox's announcement in September 2025 that it would supply lighting systems for 11 offshore HVDC converter platforms in the same 2 GW project. Glamox's client is SPIE Nederland, the Dutch subsidiary of SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services for energy and communications.

SPIE will install energy-efficient LED lighting, including customized DALI-connected MIR linear luminaires (with some Dark Sky versions), MAX explosion-proof luminaires, and E20 emergency lights for technical areas. Corridors and offices will be equipped with DALI D70 downlights and C95 R minimalist ceiling lights, while the building's exterior and perimeter will use O21-W wall lights and Electra streetlights. A spokesperson for the SPIE project team stated that Glamox met stringent specifications, including customizing multiple luminaire designs, and that the lighting equipment has the necessary certifications and environmental product declarations.

The luminaires will be delivered in six batches through October 2026. The onshore substation is expected to become operational in 2029. Jeroen de Jonge, Managing Director of Glamox Netherlands, noted that this contract demonstrates the company's ability to support both offshore and onshore needs for large-scale renewable energy projects, and that close collaboration with SPIE allowed all parties to invest time, ultimately producing high-quality products that meet customer requirements.
