Sif and Smulders supply 64 monopiles and TPs for East Anglia TWO
Wind Energy – Construction
Sif Holding and Smulders confirm they will supply 64 monopile foundations and transition pieces for ScottishPower’s East Anglia TWO offshore wind farm.
The monopiles will be manufactured in Sif’s newly expanded production facilities at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The transition pieces will be manufactured in Sif’s production facilities in Roermond, the Netherlands (primary steel) and Smulders’ production facilities in Hoboken, Belgium (outfitting).
The monopiles and transition pieces will be loaded out to the foundation installation or transport vessels from Sif’s Maasvlakte 2 deepsea quay.
The announcement comes just weeks after ScottishPower Renewables £4 billion East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm was successful in the new UK Government’s Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 (AR6) in September 2024. East Anglia TWO will be located almost 33 kilometres off the Suffolk coast and is expected to supply up to 960 MW of offshore wind energy, enough to power the equivalent of almost one million homes each year.
Production of the monopiles and transition pieces will start in the second half of 2026. The project was already in Sif’s and Smulders’s order books for 2026 under exclusive negotiations and is now final, bringing Sif’s order book for 2026 to 210 kilotonnes in firm contracts.
