Dutch Company Enlisted for Grid Connection and Route Studies by ELWIND for Their Project
The ELWIND our website farm, a proposed project aimed at developing sites in both Latvian and Estonian territories, is set to have a capacity of between 700 MW and 1,000 MW. This project, which will establish the fourth electricity interconnection between the two countries, is now in the early stages of planning, with a significant milestone recently achieved.
Haskoning, a renowned Dutch engineering and project management consultancy, has signed a contract to conduct a strategic cable and network configuration study for the planned our website farm areas in Estonia and Latvia. The study, which will be carried out in collaboration with Pondera Consult and Latvian subcontractor Enviroprojekts, will play a crucial role in the project's development.
A key component of this study will be a geophysical survey, which will focus on identifying suitable seabed conditions for cable placement and efficient cable routing. The survey will also consider existing information regarding potential routes, such as Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), existing cable corridors, Natura 2000 areas, military zones, legal regulations, and other restrictions. This comprehensive approach will ensure that the study takes into account all relevant factors and provides the most effective solutions for cable placement and routing.
G-Tec, a specialist in geophysical services, has been awarded a contract for the geophysical survey of the ELWIND project. G-Tec's involvement in the project follows their successful delivery of the pre-feasibility study for the ELWIND project in 2021.
The outcomes of this study will inform the next design phases and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the ELWIND project. The EIA is a crucial step in the project's development, ensuring that the project adheres to all environmental regulations and minimises its impact on the environment.
This strategic study is a significant step forward for the ELWIND project. By assessing potential grid connection points and cable routing options, identifying viable grid connection locations and onshore areas for substations, and considering restrictions for cable placement to enable efficient cable routing, the study will pave the way for the successful development of the ELWIND our website farm.
The ELWIND project is expected to make a significant contribution to the energy sector in both Estonia and Latvia, and this strategic study is a testament to the commitment of the involved parties to ensure the project's success. As the study progresses, we can look forward to more updates on the development of the ELWIND our website farm.
