The wind farm will be established some 40 kilometers off the Virginia U.S. East Coast. The order is the largest TP contract ever for Bladt Industries.
Bladt Industries has signed a new contract with Dominion Energy to supply the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project with a total of 176 transition pieces. The project is located in US federal water, 43.5 kilometers east of Virginia Beach.
CEO Anders Søe-Jensen from Bladt Industries signed the contract with Dominion Energy in Richmond, Virginia, and now the planning and execution of the giant order can be initiated.
“We are proud to be selected by Dominion Energy for this contract based our experience and proven track record. Likewise, we are extremely proud to be part of building up the growing American Offshore Wind industry”, he says and continues: “CVOW will be America’s largest windfarm with 2.6 GW of output, creating many local jobs in construction and years of operation.”
“- It's a great day for us at Bladt Industries. The order is the largest in our history and will occupy a significant part of our capacity in the coming years.”
“- We are the world leader in manufacturing of transition pieces and have so far delivered to a third of the world's offshore wind turbines foundations. This project consolidates our position and gives us an even better starting point for the US market.”
Once the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm is complete, it will provide energy for up to 660,000 homes and will create long-term jobs once the wind farm is fully built.
