Wind Energy – Inch Cape OWF
Energy solutions business OEG has secured a multi-million-pound contract to support the construction phase of the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, which is expected to become operational in 2027.
As one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind developments, Inch Cape will play a pivotal role in meeting Scottish and UK government 2030 green energy targets.
The 1.1 GW project is located in the North Sea, 15 km from the Angus coast on a site covering 150 km2. Once completed, it will feature up to 72 wind turbines and an offshore substation and generate enough clean energy to power the equivalent of more than half the homes in Scotland.
Under the terms of the contract, OEG will provide a comprehensive package of specialist topside and marine services, including marine coordination, high-voltage systems, and ancillary port services. These services will be managed by a central project team and delivered from the company’s new flagship facility in Edinburgh, which is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology for 24/7 monitoring operations.
OEG will also operate up to ten vessels, seven guard vessels for on-location round-the-clock safety, and three crew transfer vessels to support offshore wind technicians working at the wind farm. Furthermore, the firm will provide a comprehensive allocation of metocean sensors and navigation buoys, as well as any additional support equipment as required.
