Moray Offshore Windfarm (East) Ltd announces that Fraserburgh been selected as preferred Operations and Maintenance port for the project.

The O&M port will provide the onshore base from which the wind farm will be operated, and from which routine maintenance activities will be undertaken.

Moray East has signed an options agreement with Fraserburgh Harbour to secure the necessary land on which to construct the quayside O&M buildings and facilities.

Oscar Diaz, Project Director for Moray East said: “I am delighted to be able to announce that Fraserburgh Harbour has been selected as the preferred operations and maintenance port for the project. After construction has been completed, this will become the wind farm’s onshore focus for operations and maintenance throughout its lifetime.

“Fraserburgh Harbour’s Commissioners have drawn together key local stakeholders including the Aberdeenshire Council and North East Scotland College in preparation for the long term opportunities which Moray East will bring in terms of requirements for skills and a supply chain.

“We look forward to working with the local community to deliver low carbon power at a record low price, while creating a significant new long term high-value, high-skill industrial opportunity”

The constructions that will be erected at the port include a two-story building and a berthing facility for wind farm support vessels. There will also be a marine coordination centre, an operational control room, and maintenance workshop and stores.

In 2017 the 950MW Moray East was successful in the UK’s second ‘Contract for Difference’ (CfD) auction with a strike price of £57.50/MWh. The offshore wind farm is to be situated off the north-east coast of Scotland and will provide electricity for more than 950,000 UK households, when fully commissioned.

Moray East will be built in 3 phases with delivery year of the first phase scheduled to be completed in 2022/23.
