Innogy to begin offshore construction of 857 MW Triton Knoll wind Farm in Lincolnshire
Innogy has set to begin the installation of the first offshore components at the 857 MW Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm.
During 2020, the project team will install 90 monopile foundations and transition pieces, along with two high-tech offshore substation platforms (OSPs) and their foundations, as well as over 600 kilometers of sub-sea export and array cables.
The vessel fleet that will carry out the installation has already begun to mobilize and will look to install the first foundations as soon as the weather conditions are favorable.
Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm is a state-of-the-art 857 MW offshore wind farm, located over 32 kilometers off the Lincolnshire coast, with a turbine array that covers an area of 145 square kilometers, bigger than the City of Manchester.
A fleet of vessels, many operating out of Grimsby’s Royal Dock, will support the construction of the wind farm.
East coast and UK firms like Specialist Marine Consultancy (SMC), Seacat, Hull’s Precision Marine Survey Ltd, and Carlbom Shipping Ltd, will also play key roles in supporting the offshore activities in 2020.
Construction of a multi-million pound turbine pre-assembly base at Teesside’s Able Seaton Port will get underway in 2020, equipping the port for the first time to be able to host the assembly and installation of turbines, with first components due to arrive in the last quarter of the year
