ScottishPower Renewables awards CWind for construction of East Anglia ONE offshore wind project

CWind has been awarded by ScottishPower Renewables a contract worth up to GBP8.2 million (US$10.3 million) for work on the East Anglia ONE offshore windfarm. The company will provide below water services, including subsea maintenance of the foundations and offshore substation, subsea surveys and any corrective maintenance, as well as pre-engineering studies.

The three-year contract, with options for two further one-year extensions, will see CWind staff working both onshore and offshore servicing the wind farm. It will also create new employment opportunities throughout the supply chain.

CWind, part of the Global Marine Group, provides topside, subsea and engineering services to the offshore renewables and utility market with experience at over 50 the UK and European offshore wind farms, supporting over 12 GW power generated by the offshore wind sector.

East Anglia ONE is due to be fully operational later this year, with turbine installation currently well underway and the operations and maintenance base now fully operational.
