Assembly and fit-out of the offshore substation platform and jacket foundation for SLPE’s 1.1 GW Inch Cape offshore wind farm have begun at the Smulders yard in Newcastle, U.K., the company announced.
“We are delighted to witness our hard work on this project for Inch Cape materializing,” says Joseph Hilton, SLPE’s managing director. “Our OSS jacket design is set to withstand the harsh conditions of the North Sea, and we eagerly anticipate its completion and installation. I am immensely proud of everyone at SLPE for their dedication and expertise.”
A consortium of Siemens Energy and Iemants, a Smulders subsidiary, is responsible for delivering the offshore substation for the Scottish project, located 15 km off the Angus coast.
Inch Cape is owned by Inch Cape Offshore Wind Limited, a joint venture by Red Rock Power and ESB.
