UK: Vattenfall has signed a contract with Siemens Energy and Aker Solutions to deliver grid connection infrastructure for Norfolk Boreas offshore wind farm.
Under the contract, the two supplying companies will be responsible for engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of the HVDC onshore and offshore substations and connection to the national grid.
“The development of Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone could require up to three HVDC platforms in succession, which would provide more long-term predictability and positive repeat effects and standardization for the supplier industry”, said Kenneth Simonsen, Senior Vice President of offshore wind at Aker Solutions.
Located 47 km off the Norfolk coast in southeast Britain, Norfolk Boreas is the first phase of Vattenfall’s Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone which also includes the Norfolk Vanguard offshore wind project.
In August, Vattenfall awarded J. Murphy & Sons with a $2.5 M (GBP 2.5 M) contract to deliver early works for the onshore cable installation scope of the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone project.
