Van Oord completes cable installation for Germany's 315 MW Windanker offshore wind farm

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch offshore giant Van Oord has completed the installation and burial of inter-array cables for the Windanker offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.

The project's owner and developer, Iberdrola, stated that the operation involved 21 inter-array cables with a total length of 28 kilometers. The work was completed on schedule, taking approximately 360,000 man-hours with no lost time incidents. Van Oord deployed its vessel Nexus for cable installation under a contract signed in 2024. The company is also responsible for installing all 21 monopile foundations, a task completed by the end of 2025 using the offshore installation vessel Svanen.

The 315 MW Windanker wind farm is under construction northeast of the island of Rügen in the German Baltic Sea and will become Iberdrola's third offshore wind project in the country, following the operational Wikinger and Baltic Eagle projects. The combined installed capacity of these three offshore wind farms is approximately 1.1 GW. The Windanker wind farm will feature 21 Siemens Gamesa 15 MW turbines and is scheduled to achieve full commercial operation in 2027.
