Turbine manufacturer MHI Vestas Offshore Wind has entered into a preferred supplier agreement with Seagreen Wind Energy Limited to supply and service up to 114 wind turbines for the Seagreen offshore wind farm.

The project is under development by SSE Renewables and is located 27km off the Angus. It will be one of the most significant construction projects undertaken in Scotland and could contribute over £2 billion to the UK economy. ~

Philippe Kavafyan, CEO of MHI Vestas Offshore, commented on the award: “We are proud to enter into a preferred supplier agreement with Seagreen for the supply of our proven wind turbine technology to Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm.

“Scotland is a burgeoning centre for offshore wind and we are keen to work closely with both the Scottish and UK supply chain to create real value for the local communities as this project becomes a reality. We see the project as a major step forward for the offshore wind industry in the UK, and Scotland in particular. This will be our fourth project in Scotland.”

The wind farm was recently successful in the UK government’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction securing a 15-year contract for 454MW at a strike price of £41.61/MWh. The CfD contract represents 42% of the total project capacity with plans to build out to a total of 1,075MW capacity.

SSE Renewables is now in the process of firming up its supply chain. The company stated it will host events around the country to enable businesses to gear up to bid for contracts, meet the Seagreen team, its principal contractors and understand the wealth of opportunities on offer.

The Seagreen Meet the Buyer events will offer the Scottish supply chain an opportunity to meet the project’s principal contractors, including MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, at events held on 5, 6 and 7 November in Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee respectively.

John Hill, Seagreen Project Director at SSE Renewables, said: “Seagreen represents one of the most significant construction projects ever undertaken in Scotland and we want members of the Scottish supply chain to have the opportunity to work with us. We will be holding events across the country to promote opportunities for local companies to work with the project.

“Once completed, the project will inherit the crown of SSE Renewables’ other Scottish wind farm, Beatrice, and become Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm. We were very grateful to have been able to work with so many expert Scottish companies on Beatrice and we hope to replicate that local partnership success on Seagreen.”
