HSI, a joint venture between HSM Offshore Energy, Smulders, and Iv, has achieved a significant milestone in the construction of the Jasmund offshore substation (OSS). The topside of the substation has been moved and lifted to HSM Offshore Energy’s Stormpolder yard in the Netherlands. This milestone marks a crucial step in the construction of the substation, which is set to play a vital role in the German electricity grid.
The Jasmund OSS will serve as a connection point between the Windanker wind farm, located northeast of the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, and Germany’s national grid. The substation is designed to handle 300 megawatts of power, making it a significant infrastructure project for the region.
The Jasmund OSS topside measures 48 meters by 33 meters by 17.5 meters and weighs approximately 4,500 metric tons. This massive structure is a testament to the technical expertise and resources of HSI, which is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the substation and its supporting jacket.
The successful completion of this phase of the project demonstrates the joint venture’s ability to deliver complex offshore infrastructure projects. The Jasmund OSS is expected to make a significant contribution to Germany’s energy supply, and its completion is a significant achievement for all parties involved. With its impressive size and scale, the Jasmund OSS topside is a notable milestone in the development of offshore energy infrastructure, and its successful installation will pave the way for future projects of similar complexity.
