Suzlon Group subsidiary, REpower Systems SE, has completed the installation of the last of 48 total turbines at the Belgian offshore wind farm Thornton Bank.
The company has installed the turbines for Belgian offshore project development company C-Power, which was set up by four Belgian investors.
C-Power shareholders include REpower customers RWE Innogy and EDF EN. ABB and THV Seawind, a consortium between DEME and Fabricom, were among the installation partners.
Andreas Nauen, CEO of REpower Systems SE, said: “We are very proud to have installed the largest fleet of 6 megawatt turbines worldwide.”
The 2013 construction phase III covered 18 REpower 6M turbines.
After the completion of all three construction phases, the wind farm has a total output of 325 megawatts – enough to supply 600,000 people or a city the size of Glasgow.
In terms of investment volume, the contract marks the largest financing for a completed project to date in the offshore wind industry overall. Companies from Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden are involved in Thornton Bank.
