Princess Amalia Wind Farm

It consists of 60 Vestas V80-2.0MW[2] wind turbines and has a total nameplate capacity of 120 MW.

The wind turbine towers rest on steel monopile foundations, in water depths of 19 to 24 meters.

The construction barge Sea Jack required about 2 hours to drive in each monopile after positioning it.

Upon completion, Eneco CEO Jeroen de Haas complained that the required procedures took seven years.

However, the V80-2MW is considered a proven design with over 2700 units installed globally by 2008, thereby reducing the project risks.
