NORTHWIND EXPORT CABLE

Northwind is an offshore windfarm on the Bank zonder Naam (Lodewijksbank) in the Belgium section of the North Sea. The company was founded in 2007 and a concession was granted by the Belgian federal government, as well as on- and offshore permits and the connection to the electricity grid. Construction on the long expected wind power plant did start early 2013. The wind farm is powered by 72 Vestas V112 3MW turbines and is located approximately 37km off the coast from Zeebrugge.
