Offshore wind farms are a great source of renewable energy – and help accelerate the energy transition of Belgium – but they need to be connected to the mainland electricity grid. For the Belgian part of the North Sea, that’s what Elia with the Modular Offshore Grid 2 (MOG2) is aiming to accomplish.
As part of Elia's project, TM Edison, a joint venture of DEME and Jan De Nul, will design and build the Princess Elisabeth Island – a world first. It will create connections between wind farms, the mainland grid, and neighbouring countries. At Haskoning, we’re delighted to prepare a detailed design, ready for construction.
We’re thrilled to design this first-of-its-kind energy island, and bring even more renewable energy to the grid, accelerating the European energy transition.
Our review and subsequent recommendations and optimisations of the reference design – strongly supported TM Edison’s winning bid for the Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) scope of the Princess Elisabeth Energy Island.
