On 18 February 2015, the Offshore High Voltage Station (OHVS) for Windfarm Luchterduinen was installed on its foundation in the North Sea, 25 kilometres off Noordwijk. According to Energy Solutions’ project description, construction works, testing and loading of the OHVS had been completed earlier in February 2015, after which the structure was placed onto its pre-installed foundation at the offshore site. This milestone marked the physical installation of the offshore high-voltage station that collects power from the wind farm’s 33 kV infield cables, steps up the voltage to 150 kV, and connects the project to the Dutch onshore grid via the export cable route to Noordwijk and Sassenheim.
