Cadeler has completed installation of the first fully commissioned monopile foundation at Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm offshore wind farm in the United Kingdom. The installation marks the first of 197 monopile foundations that Cadeler will transport and install as part of the company’s transportation and installation scope for the project.
The monopile was installed by Cadeler’s vessel Wind Ally, while Wind Orca carried out installation of the secondary steel structures.
The commissioning scope was completed by the service operation vessel Esvagt Froude, operated by Danish company Esvagt. Boston Energy delivered the post-installation commissioning and completion work for the foundation.
Once completed, Hornsea 3 will have a total capacity of 2.9 GW.
