German operator Northern HeliCopter has won a six year contract in support of the Wikinger offshore wind farm. The installation is 75km off the Island of Rügen, and will consist of 70 Adwen 5MW turbines and one offshore substation with a helideck. Spanish owned engergy company Iberdrola is investing €1.4 billion to construct Wikinger, the company’s first offshore windfarm in German waters. Wikinger is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of this year.
Flights will be operated on a call-off basis, allowing Iberdrola flexibility. Northern HeliCopter will fly up to 10 passenger per flight in one of their EC155s from a base at Güttin airport.
