About the project

At the time, the wind turbines were larger than average. The mast of the turbines is 98 metres high and when the blade is in its highest position, the height is even 150 metres. The Princess Alexia Wind Farm was built in 17 months. Construction began with groundwork at the end of 2011, and in August 2012, the first of the 36 wind turbines was erected. The first wind turbines supplied power in November 2012, and the last wind turbine was installed in March 2013.

Aratis was commissioned by Nuon to supervise the preparation and tendering of the engineering, construction and installation of the wind farm and was responsible for contract management during the execution of the FIDIC contract for the wind turbines and the UAV-GC contract for the civil engineering and electrical works (also known as Balance of Plant).
