Wind Energy – Inch Cape
The Siemens Energy Offshore Transformer Module (OTM®) and its jacket foundation for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm have departed from the Smulders yard in Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne.
This marks the first-ever double OTM to be delivered. The platform, weighing just under 3,000 tonnes, and the towering jacket, 68 metres high, were fabricated entirely at our Wallsend facility, an impressive feat of engineering and teamwork.
These structures will soon be installed 15 km off the Angus coast, where they’ll help deliver 1.1 GW of green energy to the UK grid.
