Overview

Seamade is a 487,2 MW offshore wind concession in the Belgian North Sea. The project is the result of a merger between the two concession zones Mermaid and Seastar. It was founded by Otary; a consortium of 8 strong Belgian shareholders with a significant track record in offshore wind, who joined forces in a strategic Belgian knowledge and competence center to develop, finance and operate the offshore wind project. The Seamade project - located 40/51 km north of the Ostend headquarters - will be the 7th offshore wind project in the Belgian North Sea. This new offshore power station will consist of 58 SGRE (Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy) turbines and will have a maximum installed capacity of 487,2 MW. The new wind turbines will deliver renewable energy to approximately 485.000 households. On a yearly basis, the Wind farm will avoid 500.000 Ton of CO2 emission. The construction will start in 2019. Seamade is expected to be fully operational in 2020 to meet the 2020 climate objectives.
