The wind park –
Gemini’s importance
to green-energy development
1.5 million people
785,000
households
With a capacity
of 600 MW, the plant
will produce 2.6 TWh
annually
Twice as many
inhabitants as in
the Dutch capital
of Amsterdam
Challenges 2015
Solutions/Success Criteria
• Weather conditions
in the North Sea (WDT)
• New G4 turbine platform with
ø 5.5 tower and 130 m rotor

à Inflexible/little room
to maneuver (contract)
• Satisfied customer
• Geographical setup (NL/DK)
• Low number of HSE incidents
• Deliver on time/beyond
of expectations
• Introduce of new methods
for execution of the project
• Compact time schedule
