RWE and TotalEnergies sign port agreement for Dutch wind project

RWE and TotalEnergies have signed an agreement with Buss terminal Eemshaven regarding use of the port as the 795MW OranjeWind’s construction base.

It will host the offloading, storage, handling and pre-assembly of turbine components and inter-array cables. Meanwhile, the monopile foundations will be transported directly to the North Sea project site from Sif’s production facility at the Port of Rotterdam.

Offshore construction activities will begin in early 2026, with installation of the 53 Vestas 15MW turbines scheduled to start in early 2027. Commissioning should be fully completed by the end of 2027.

RWE is already using the Buss terminal at Eemshaven to handle monopile foundations for its 1.1GW Thor project in the Danish North Sea. It is also set to support construction of its Nordseecluster A in German waters.
