Green Volt offshore windfarm has selected renewable energy consultancy OWC to provide cable engineering support on the project.
"We are proud to be part of such a pioneering project and to contribute with Scotland-based expertise Green Volt both advances floating wind and redefines how offshore energy systems can be decarbonised," says Johnathan Love, OWC Project Manager for Green Volt.
Scotland-based expertise
OWC's scope of work includes cable engineering for both offshore and onshore cables. The subsea scope focuses primarily on the export cable, but OWC will also support inter array cable system design and alignment. The onshore engineering scope includes technical responsibility for the cable that runs from the landfall site near Aberdeen to an onshore substation.
"It is a privilege to support a project that is setting new standards for floating wind and local content. Our contribution demonstrates the value of UK-based engineering talent and strengthens our position as a go-to partner for complex offshore wind developments," says Will Cleverly, CEO of OWC.
Supported Green Volt since 2023
The cable engineering package is the latest of a number of OWC assignments at the Green Volt project, which OWC has supported since May 2023, including provision of a range of owner's engineering services.
"Green Volt is proving floating wind technology can scale. There is huge opportunity to build a UK supply chain ready to act on the global opportunities ahead. We're delighted to be working with OWC for cable engineering on the project, following their involvement in other workstreams over the past couple of years. To have this competence available on our doorstep in Scotland is a strength for the project.
