Windpark In Strekdammen
The Windpark in Strekdammen is a project initiated by Pondera and Rebel, and consists of two wind turbines at the breakwaters in the Eemshaven. To make this possible, the existing breakwaters are partly widened. The construction of the 2 wind turbines has started in early 2021 and is expected to supply the first power in mid-2022.
The challenge
For a positive business case we needed to find a much cheaper solution for the construction of 2 wind turbines in the water between the breakwaters of Eemshaven. To qualify for the subsidies, the turbines needed to be fully operational within an extremely short lead time.
The solution
To realise the short lead time we selected the contractors based on an action plan instead of fixed price. Together we worked out the plans and the contractors were responsible for detailed design and realisation. Together we managed to halve the normal lead time and still have a very competitive realisation price.
Why is it innovative?
Instead of a near shore solution in the water we extended the breakwaters, making the construction and maintenance much cheaper for an innovative solution, in an innovative energy market.
