Vattenfall noted that, despite the outbreak of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, all its wind turbines are in place. The company is planning to begin the installation of solar panels and batteries at the site.

Construction works began late last year but the last phase of the project was affected by coronavirus restrictions, reported the company.

Haringvliet energy park site manager Leon de Graaf said: “Due to the coronavirus outbreak, our work was affected. For example, we are normally three or four colleagues working to connect the cables. Now we could only be two people working to keep a distance of 1.5 metres.

“In addition, we had a lot of bad weather last winter, with a lot of rain and wind. All of this has an impact on the planning. But luckily it went well in April and we were able to continue working quickly, and at the end construction delays were limited.”
