Abstract
The present report gives an overview of the main activities and relevant parameters of the Nobelwind offshore windfarm for the period as from 1 January 2022 up to 31 December 2022.
The Nobelwind offshore wind farm is located on the Bligh Bank, part of the Belgian Continental Shelf within the Belgian Exclusive Economic zone. The distance from the wind farm to the nearest point at shore (Zeebrugge) is approximately 47 km.
The Bligh Bank offshore wind park zone is the initially Belwind concession zone, which has been split up into two separate concessions namely the Belwind and Nobelwind concession. In line with the Royal Decrees of 20 December 2000 (Domain concession), 12 March 2002 (Sea-cable permit) and 07 September 2003 (Marine environmental permit), the partial split of these initial permits has been applied for by Belwind and Nobelwind. Nobelwind obtained in 2015 the necessary authorization for its realization.
