Wind Energy – Scotland
Invergordon port in the Cromarty Firth, Scotland, has been selected as the location for marshalling of all 62 monopiles prior to installation as part of the Moray West offshore wind farm.
Ocean Winds, created as a 50-50 joint venture, owned by EDP Renewables and ENGIE, is developing the Moray West project.
Moray West has signed a multi-million pound contract with Port of Cromarty Firth (POCF) to use the recently expanded facilities at Invergordon for this scope. The monopiles will be some of the largest used in the sector to date with weights up to just under 2,000 tonnes.
Offloading the monopiles from delivery vessels will be done using self-propelled modular transporters.
The monopiles will start to arrive in Invergordon in Q2 2023 with installation complete approximately one year later.
