Singaporean offshore rig builder Keppel Offshore & Marine has won yet another contract in the renewable energy sector following last week's main contract in the offshore wind market.
Namely, Keppel last week, in cooperation with the Norwegian Aibel, secured a contract from TenneT Offshore GmbH for the design, engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of a 900MW offshore HVDC converter station and an onshore converter station for the offshore DolWin cluster. wind farms. Keppel's part of the contract is worth around S$560 million.
On Sunday 12 May, Keppel reported that its subsidiary Keppel FELS had secured a contract with Ørsted, a Danish renewable energy companyl, for two offshore wind farm substations worth more than $150 million ($109,7 million).
