Eiffage wins supply contracts for 2.06 GW offshore wind farms in UK

Smulders (the Belgian subsidiary of Eiffage Métal) as part of a consortium, has been awarded two new contracts to manufacture the foundations and electrical substations for Dogger bank C and Moray West Offshore wind farms off the British coast.

Alongside the Dutch company Sif, Smulders won the contract to manufacture and supply 87 foundations, each comprising a monopile and transition piece, for a 1.2 GW Dogger bank C project located in the North Sea off England’s Yorkshire coast. It is the third and final phase of the Dogger bank project. With a capacity of 3.6 GW, on its completion in 2026, it will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world, powering more than 6 million homes in the United Kingdom. 

Smulders also secured the contract with Siemens Energy to manufacture the Moray West offshore wind farm’s two electrical substations, using Siemens Energy’s proven Offshore Transformer Module (OTM) technology. The substations will aggregate and transform the energy from up to 85 wind turbines.

It has a capacity of 860 MW and is located off the north east coast of Scotland. When commissioned in 2024, this wind farm will power up to 640,000 UK homes.
