| Work Detail |
Seaway 7, the renewable arm of Subsea 7, has been awarded a contract by the developers of the Inch Cape offshore wind farm for the transport and installation of pin-pile jacket foundations and transition pieces.
Inch Cape offshore wind farm is owned by Inch Cape Offshore Limited, an equal joint venture between Edinburgh-based renewable and sustainable energy company Red Rock Renewables and Ireland’s energy company ESB.
Seaway 7’s scope of work includes the transport and installation of 18 pin-pile jacket foundations and 54 transition pieces with offshore works expected to begin in 2026.
No financial details were provided but the company said the contract was substantial which is considered to be worth between $150m and $300m.
The 1.1GW wind farm is located in the North Sea some 15 km from the Angus coast on a site covering 150 sq km. It will feature up to 72 wind turbines and a single offshore substation. The wind farm is expected to be fully operational in 2027.
The generated power will be transported 85 km via export cables to a new substation being built on the East Lothian coast at the site of the former Cockenzie Power Plant. From there it will enter the national transmission network at an existing connection point. |
