Veidekke ASA: To build Egersund Wind Farm
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke has signed a contract with Norsk Vind Egersund AS to build Egersund
Wind Farm in Rogaland. This civil engineering contract comprises construction of
a road network, cable conduits, foundations for wind turbines and a transformer
building. The contract is worth NOK 190 million excluding VAT.
Egersund Wind Farm will be built at Åseheia and Kolldalsheia in Eigersund
municipality, a few kilometres east of Egersund town. The total electricity
output from the 33 wind turbines is expected to be approximately 400 GWh, which
corresponds to the consumption of 20,000 households or more than 100,000
electric cars. The project will be located near the planned electricity
transmission cables between Norway and Germany and will thus contribute to a
cleaner, greener Europe.
This is the third wind farm that Veidekke has been commissioned to build in the
last few years, after Lista Wind Power Plant in Vest-Agder and Raggovidda in
Finnmark, which opened in 2013 and 2014 respectively. In this project Veidekke
will build 20 kilometres of roads for access to and maintenance of the wind
turbines, in addition to foundations and assembly areas for the 33 wind turbines
at the wind farm.
"We are very pleased to be involved in this project, which will be important for
local businesses and the green shift. We are extremely proud to have been
selected as a supplier to this project. We are looking forward to being part of
a good partnership and working on another future-oriented wind power plant,"
says Head of Department Erik Eiane of Veidekke.
Work on the project will start in August, and the wind farm is scheduled to be
completed and delivering power to the grid in October 2017.
