Kriegers Flak Network Day (a bit late)
We also attended the formation of new Kriegers Flak Network Group last week.
Bornholm would be a great place to do some of the bigger works of Kriegers Flak when it gets awarded at the end of the year. We have great facilities, good access and limited traffic that will be ideal when construction begins in 2018.
It was a really interesting meeting, with presentations given from to of the potential owners of the 600 MW offshore wind project - Vattenfall and e.On (with Statoil) - discussing how they work best with local communities and what is required. E.On went further and had the project manager of Rødsand Offshore Wind Farm discuss the benefits that they have brought to the local areas.
One of the companies already working on the project by laying the export cables, JD Contractors, also gave a short talk covering the key points of working with local communities:
- One Point of Contact
- Ambitious, professional companies
- Developing companies with a wide array of competencies
- Combined profile
At the OCB we are pleased to say we have all of these already!
We hope to work with the new Kriegers Flak network group to maximise the local content that this wind farm can deliver.
