A consortium comprising HSM Energy, Smulders, and Iv has successfully moved the 300MW Jasmund offshore substation (OSS) topside and lifted transformers for 50Hertz at HSM Offshore Energy's Stormpolder yard in the Netherlands.

The Jasmund OSS will serve as a critical connection point between the Windanker offshore wind farm, located northeast of the island of Rugen in the Baltic Sea, and the electricity grid.

The HSI consortium is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of both the substation and its supporting jacket. The Jasmund OSS topside weighs approximately 4,500 metric tonnes.

Hans Leerdam, Commercial Director of HSM Offshore Energy, commented on the achievement: “HSM Offshore Energy is proud to contribute to the expansion of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. The successful rollout of the Jasmund OSS topside is the first in a set of total three platforms and supporting jackets and the first in the successful collaboration within the HSI Joint Venture.”

He further added: “This milestone reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable offshore substations that facilitate the energy transition and bring sustainable power to hundreds of thousands of households.”

Wim Vaes, Commercial Director of Smulders, also highlighted the significance of the partnership: “This milestone showcases the strength of our collaboration with HSM Offshore Energy and Iv, as we work together to deliver three offshore substations for 50Hertz. Meanwhile, at the Smulders yard in Vlissingen, we are making excellent progress on the Jasmund jacket fabrication, ensuring that everything is on track for a smooth load-out this summer.”

Fedor van Veen, Managing Director of Offshore & Energy at Iv, noted: “The successful rollout of Jasmund marks an important step towards the delivery of our first substation for 50Hertz, in expanding offshore wind capacity and strengthening Europe's energy transition. This project demonstrates the value of our expertise in the engineering, design, and supply of equipment for complex offshore substations.
