Introduction
The Norther offshore wind farms are located in the Belgium part of the North Sea, 23km off the coast of Belgium. The total power generation capacity of the farm is approximately 370 MW, thus representing one of the largest energy producers in Belgium. The Mitsubishi Corporation invested in the Norther offshore wind project through Eneco, a Dutch integrated energy company.
The offshore wind farm can be visited through tours, providing an educational sea trip and organized by the private company Water Taxi. From the port of Blankenberge the boat operator sails past the wind farms of Norther, among others. This 2.5-hour trip aims to provide, a unique perspective from the water, of these wind farms.
