Dutch offshore engineering company Enersea has been awarded a contract by AFRY, a Swedish engineering and design company, to provide the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the offshore substation of the Liivi Bay Offshore Wind Farm.
The Liivi Bay Offshore Wind Farm, developed by Enefit Green, will be located in the Gulf of Riga, Estonia, 10 km away from the island of Kihnu. It will feature up to 84 turbines with a total capacity of 1,000 MW, generating up to 4 TWh of electricity annually for the Estonian and Latvian grids.
AFRY, who has been involved in the Liivi Bay project since the pre-development phase which began in 2022, has been selected by Enefit Green to deliver front-end engineering design (FEED) services. The company is collaborating with offshore energy engineering firms Enersea, JBO and INGEO2, to deliver an integrated and comprehensive design.
AFRY has entrusted Enersea with the offshore substation design. Together with AFRY, Enersea was present in Estonia at the project kick off meeting early January. Construction of the wind farm is scheduled between 2028 and 2030. Source: Enersea / AFRY
