Name of the Project
Kriegers Flak, Vesterhav Syd and Nord wind farms.

Location
Kriegers Flak is located in the Baltic Sea, and Vesterhav Syd and Nord in the North Sea, off the shore of Denmark.

Project Owner/s
Vattenfall.

Project Description
The project entails the construction of the Kriegers Flak (605 MW), Vesterhav Syd (350 MW) and Nord (350 MW) wind farms, with a combined installed capacity of about 1 GW.

Kriegers Flak will comprise 72 turbines, and Vesterhav Syd and Nord 41 turbines each.

Once completed, Kriegers Flak will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm, with a capacity to cover the yearly electricity consumption of about 600 000 Danish households.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
€1.7-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
The Kriegers Flak Wind Farm is expected to enter operations in 2021. Vesterhav Syd & Nord are scheduled to be in full operation by the end of 2023, at the latest.

Latest Developments
Although working under special circumstances, owing to Covid-19, the installation of the foundation for the Krigers Vlak Wind Farm, which started in May, was completed on schedule in a little over three months.

The next major step in the project will be the installation of cables and turbines. Cable installation and testing is scheduled to be completed in November 2020, and the turbine installation is expected to start in early 2021. This puts the wind farm on schedule to be in full operation by the end of 2021.

Kriegers Flak is the latest and largest of Vattenfall’s recent offshore projects in Denmark.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Siemens Gamesa (turbines).
