German TSO Amprion transformed a mobile shipping container into an innovative information centre which aimed to provide comprehensive awareness regarding offshore drilling beneath the North Sea Island Norderney island and the need for offshore grid connections. This ‘Offshore Box’ aims to foster a nuanced understanding of the energy transition’s intricacies while also addressing the significance of network expansion projects.
Highlights
01
Transformed a shipping container into an ‘Offshore Box’ with text explanations, visual depictions of offshore construction phases, and immersive presentations
02
Engaged visitors and delivered comprehensive insights into offshore drillings necessary for grid connections and the energy transition.
03
Utilisation a new communication approaches to network expansion projects and a solution which is flexible concerning the location and content installation.
04
Located directly along the dunes where project construction took place and put in place during the tourist high season to address community concerns and questions.
Main Information
To realise Amprion’s offshore grid connections DolWin4 and BorWin4 they need to cross the North Sea Island Norderney, a well-known tourist destination featuring pristine beaches and dunes. Due to environmental requirements, Amprion was only allowed to work on the construction site on the beach in the high tourist season and despite it being surrounded by a noise barrier, there was naturally a huge amount of interest from locals and tourists.
Amprion therefore decided to build an Offshore Box as an independent information point and place it directly along the dunes near the construction site of the drilling across the island. The Offshore Box actively engaged visitors to discuss the project, its role in the context of the energy transitions and address concerns transparently.
