Wind Energy – East Anglia TWO
Smulders HSM is progressing construction activities for the East Anglia TWO offshore substation topside and jacket foundation following the award of the EPCIC contract by ScottishPower Renewables.
Construction of the offshore high-voltage substation topside and its supporting jacket foundation has now formally commenced.
The topside fabrication is underway at Smulders HSM’s Stormpolder yard in the Netherlands, and the jacket works have been officially launched at our yard in Newcastle, the UK, marking the next major execution milestone for the project.
The topside will measure approximately 58 x 35 x 30 metres (LxWxH) and weight around 5,100 metric tonnes, while the jacket structure will be approximately 40 x 32 x 58 metres (LxWxH) and weight around 3,450 metric tonnes.
Initial engineering works for the project began in summer 2024 under an early work agreement. Jacket installation is planned for 2027, with the topside installation to follow later in the year.
