Spanish utility-developer Iberdrola will use the experience gained during construction of its 350 MW wind farm in the Baltic Sea on projects off the UK. The Wikinger site will be handed over to the operations team this Spring, after 18 months in development. Main challenges during the construction period included diverse soil conditions and noise mitigation needs during pile driving, said Alvaro Martinez Palacio, Wikinger operations director. Iberdrola is now starting work on its 714 MW East Anglia 1 wind farm off the English coast, and is preparing for Germany's second 1.61 GW offshore wind auction in April.
