Project Summary<\/strong>
ScottishPower Renewables<\/a>\u2019 714 MW East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm<\/a> is Iberdrola\u2019s largest wind farm, the project is situated 43km off the Suffolk coast and features 102 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154<\/a> wind turbines on jacket foundations. The export cables were 85km long and made landfall at Bawdsey where they were connected via an onshore cable route of 37 km to the Burstall sub-station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Anglia ONE is a joint venture between ScottishPower Renewables and Macquarie\u2019s Green Investment Group<\/a> (GIG), and was a \u00a32.5 billion project and the first of the East Anglia R3 zone projects that ScottishPower Renewables is developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OFTO Package Management<\/strong>
OWC provided project management<\/a> services to develop the transmission assets (OFTO) package from tender stage through to sub-contract placement and the start of supply. OWC provided project management services to managing the technical and commercial delivery of the offshore transmission assets by the EPCm contractor. These include managing the procurement, design, certification and installation of the export cable and offshore substation for a 714MW, 220kV AC electrical system. We were regularly called on by the wider project team to assist with engineering co-ordination and troubleshooting due to our wide range of experience and knowledge on other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Readiness Assessment<\/strong>
OWC conducted an offshore readiness assessment to ensure the project is ready to complete the offshore works in an efficient and safe manner. The work involved developing questionnaires, working closely with the project team and also conducting a workshop to develop actions for the construction team prior to the start of the works. This ensured the project benefited from our extensive knowledge across the offshore wind industry in learning lessons from previous projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
