Hywind Tampen is a 94.6MW offshore wind power project. It is planned in North Sea, Norway. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants worldwide, the project is currently at the partially active stage. It will be developed in multiple phases. The project construction is likely to commence in 2020 and is expected to enter into commercial operation in November 2022. Buy the profile here.
Description
The project is being developed by Equinor. Equinor, DEA Norge, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Norway, Inpex Idemitsu Norge, OMV (Norge), Petoro and Var Energi are currently owning the project having ownership stake of 41%, 9.83%, 9.83%, 9.83%, 9.83%, 9.83% and 9.83% respectively.
The project is expected to generate 384,000MWh electricity to offset 200,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is expected to be around $600m. The turbines will be mounted on floating spar foundations and will be interconnected by 66kV inter-array cable.
Development status
The project construction is expected to commence from 2020. Subsequent to that it will enter into commercial operation by November 2022.
Contractors involved
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is expected to render engineering procurement construction services for the wind power project.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy will be the turbine supplier for the wind power project. The project consists of 11 units of SWT-8.0-167 DD turbines, each with 8.6MW nameplate capacity.
Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is expected to perform operations and maintenance for the wind power project for a period of 5 years.
