Dutch contractor Van Oord has started the installation of 89 Siemens Gamesa turbines at Wind Farm Fryslân, which will be the world’s largest wind farm on a lake once it is operational later this year at 383MW.

From March to June this year, the SWT-DD-130 4.3MW onshore turbines earmarked for the offshore project will be shipped, installed and tested on the Ijsselmeer artificial lake north of Amsterdam.
