Wind farm substations

We bring energy to shore

Since 2002, when the first offshore wind farm was constructed in Danish waters, Semco Maritime has participated in more than 20 of the major offshore wind farm projects in Europe.

World leader in offshore substations!

In collaboration with partners we have successfully completed the design and construction of more than 20 offshore substations, which makes us a leader in EPCI solutions and services for the offshore wind industry.

Our in-house specialists cover all elements involved in connecting the offshore wind power plant to the onshore grid. As such we can help you meet all your electrical infrastructure needs including onshore and offshore substations.

Watch how we complete a 1,000 tonnes offshore substation in just 3 minutes ...

In reality, it was 16 months from contract signing to completing – still pretty fast! Northwester 2 was the third time we (together with Bladt Industries and ISC) delivered a complete substation to the developer Parkwind. In 2013, the Northwind substation was delivered and only three years later, Bligh Bank – both projects as EPCI contracts. The wind farm is being installed about 46 km off the Belgian coast and will have a total installed capacity of 219 MW.
