The business alliance formed by Navantia Seanergies and Windar Renovables will manufacture 21 monopiles for Iberdrola for the Windanker offshore wind farm. This is the second monopiles contract for Iberdrola and the fourth contract of this type of foundations for the Navantia-Windar alliance to date. Production will take place at the monopile factory operated by Navantia Seanergies and Windar Renovables at the Navantia shipyard in Fene (A Coruña, Spain).
Windanker will be located in German waters and once it is commissioned in 2026, it will have 315 MW capacity. New generation 15 MW turbines will be installed over those 21 monopiles -84 metres high, 10 metres of diameter and 2,100 tonnes each-.
With this new contract, Navantia Seanergies-Windar Renovables demonstrates its leadership in this product line, and adds a new contract to those already awarded for more than €1 billion, consolidating a relationship of more than nine years with Iberdrola, with orders for Iberdrola’s offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the United States.
This is the fourth order for the factory located in Fene. The work at this factory has involved the adaptation of a building for bending thick sheet metal up to 12 metres in diameter, new paint booths and storage areas for finished products, as well as the latest technology equipment required for manufacturing.
