Sif has manufactured the first of 54 monopiles for Equinor's Empire Wind 1 offshore wind farm at its expanded Maasvlakte 2 facility. This marks a major milestone for the 810 MW wind farm project off the coast of New York.

The EUR 328 million facility expansion began in February 2023, with Empire Offshore Wind investing EUR 50 million in advanced payments.

The facility aims to produce 200 monopiles annually as production ramps up.

Turbine delivery by Vestas is set for 2026, with completion expected by 2027.

Transition pieces are being produced in Sif’s Roermond facilities, while the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal will handle turbine staging and pre-assembly.

This achievement highlights Europe’s pivotal role in advancing global offshore wind energy projects. 🌍💨
