GE Renewable Energy has finished assembly of the first of 66 nacelles for the 396MW Merkur offshore wind project in the German North Sea, with the wind farm on track for a late-2018 completion.
The nacelle will be stored at GE’s facility in Saint-Nazaire, France, where it was manufactured, and will be transferred eventually along with the other components to a logistical hub in Eemshaven, Netherlands, before offshore installation begins in spring 2018.
