Construction is set to start in April at the largest section of Europe’s biggest onshore wind project, the €1.1bn ($1.2bn) 1GW Fosen Vind in Norway, said contractor Veidekke.

Norwegian company Veidekke has been awarded a NKr400m ($47.7m) contract to build the 80-turbine Storheia, the largest of the six wind farms at the giant complex.

"Work will start in April with plans to build 60km of internal roads, 80 turbine foundations and other infrastructure," said Veidekke.
