Installation of Offshore Substation Platforms completed for 882MW Wind farm in Scotland

Harlyn Solutions has completed the transportation and installation of two Offshore Substation Platforms (OSPs) for the 882MW Moray West offshore wind project located 22.5 km (14 miles) off the Caithness coast as a sister site of the 950 MW Moray East wind farm, Moray Firth, Scotland.

The facility is being developed by Ocean Winds, it is a 50:50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, dedicated to offshore wind energy. The project comprised of 60 units of the SG 14-222 DD turbines, each of 14.7 MW. The wind farm will have the capacity to power up to 640,000 homes in UK. Due to the large turbine size (14.7 MW) and water depth (up to 54 m), extremely large XXL monopiles will be required for the project.
