Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind Limited<\/a> (jointly owned by EDF Renewables and ESB), its tier one service provider, Saipem, and InfraStrata, owner of Harland & Wolff, jointly announce that a contract has been signed for Harland & Wolff to carry out the fabrication and load-out of eight of the project\u2019s wind turbine generator (WTG) foundation jackets.<\/p>\n

With work starting from 1st<\/sup> July, 2021, Harland & Wolff will use its newly acquired Methil facilities in Fife for the fabrication work, creating around 290 direct and indirect Scottish jobs. Additional support may be provided as required by the company\u2019s other facilities in Arnish, Appledore and Belfast with Saipem\u2019s consent and should the need arise.<\/p>\n

The foundations, used to support and anchor NnG\u2019s WTGs to the seabed, are being supplied and installed by Saipem, a global solution provider in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Saipem will also supply and install an additional two jackets for the offshore substations.<\/p>\n

NnG is committed to utilising the Scottish supply chain and this work on the project is a further boost to the offshore wind industry in Scotland, providing new green jobs and manufacturing opportunities.<\/p>\n

Offshore construction for NnG started in August last year with the installation of casings for the piles and preparing the seabed in advance of the arrival of the steel foundation jackets.<\/p>\n

Matthias Haag, NnG Project Director<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis is an important day, for the offshore wind sector in Scotland and for our project. When we announced our main contractors in 2019, we made clear our commitment to the Scottish supply chain and the role it has to play in the construction of NnG.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why this contract signing is such good news. We are pleased the contract has been awarded to Harland & Wolff with the bulk of the work taking place in Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Port of Dundee supporting the project as NnG\u2019s marine hub, the Port of Leith as the marshalling point for the pile casings and planning permission recently granted for an Operations and Maintenance Base at Eyemouth Harbour, Harland & Wolff joining our project is yet further evidence of our commitment to Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mauro Piasere, Head of Offshore New Energies in Saipem\u2019s E&C Offshore Division<\/strong>, commented: \u201cThe Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm is a key project for Saipem in an area of rising growth and potential such as the North Sea. The execution by InfraStrata stands to demonstrate the possibility for the North Sea fabrication industry to play a competitive role in the renewables market. Our vision is to create value in those countries where we operate and this collaboration with InfraStrata confirms this and allows us to contribute to the country’s system involving the local supply chain\u201d.<\/p>\n

John Wood, CEO of InfraStrata<\/strong>, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to have entered into this contract with Saipem. This contract paves the way for the execution and delivery of future fabrication contracts, a significant number of which are currently in advanced negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe geographical proximity of our Methil facility to the North Sea makes it an ideal site for fabrication and load-out to wind farm projects such as this. More importantly, it validates our strategic vision of expanding the Group\u2019s fabrication footprint into regions that are strategically located within close proximity to major wind farm projects. This will enable us to spread workstreams across our facilities to drive down costs, deliver against tight schedules and, crucially, align ourselves to the government\u2019s goal of providing wind generated power to all homes in the UK by 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that this is only the beginning of a stream of projects in our pipeline that we expect come to fruition. We are hugely excited about the massive potential that this first contract has unlocked, and we look forward to working with Saipem to successfully deliver under it.\u201d<\/p>\n

NnG will supply enough low carbon electricity for around 375,000 homes* and has a capacity of circa 450 megawatts (MW) of low carbon energy and will offset over 400,000 tonnes of CO2<\/sub> emissions each year.<\/p>\n
