ABERDEEN OFFSHORE WIND FARM

Located in Aberdeen Bay, the innovative 92.4MW 11-turbine offshore wind scheme will trial next generation technology and once operational, boost the industry’s drive to competitive clean power.

Underlining the vision for the more than £300 million EOWDC is the installation of V164-8.4MW turbines paired with suction bucket foundations - an industry first. Construction of the facility, which also includes 66kV cabling, began in October 2016, with first power expected in summer 2018. The project will be operating for 20 years.

The EOWDC has been awarded up to €40million of funding from the European Union and is supported by Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG).

Following construction of the EOWDC the windfarm will be handed over to Vattenfall’s generation team to coordinate the operations and maintenance throughout the 20 year lifetime of the wind farm.

For the first 5 years of operation MHI Vestas is responsible for servicing the turbines, after which Vattenfall will take over this responsibility for the remainder of the 20 year lifetime. Vattenfall will ensure the maintenance and HSSE of all assets in close cooperation with their contractors.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Thanet Extension Vattenfall is currently developing a proposal

for an extension to the existing and operating

Thanet Offshore Wind Farm which is located

near the shoreline at Margate in Kent. The

extension would involve the addition of up to

34 turbines on the edges of the existing wind

farm, with the nearest located around 8km from

the coastline, plus associated infrastructure.

More details can be found here: https://corporate.vattenfall.co.uk/projects/wind-energy-projects/thanet-extension/

Norfolk Vanguard / Norfolk BoreasWe are exploring the potential to develop one

of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms which

will be located in the North Sea, off the coast

of Norfolk.

aberdeen renewable energy group

Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) is an unrivalled energy network which reaches across the UK, Europe and around the globe.

AREG seeks to build on Aberdeen’s position as the oil and gas capital of Europe by transferring relevant skills and expertise into renewables to widen the energy mix and diversify the local economy. Its members are making significant progress in winning renewables business and driving forward the development of the renewable energy sector in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Representing a cross-section of the energy industry, AREG members include developers, operators, offshore contractors, research institutes, technology developers, engineering companies, professional consultancies, a wide range of service companies, supply chain organisations and development bodies. Their remarkable diversity extends into every realm of renewable energy – onshore and offshore wind, wave, tidal, biomass, hydrogen fuel cell, photovoltaic and thermal solar, hydro and geothermal.

Established as a private/public partnership by a group of like-minded businesses in 2001, AREG operates with its own Board and is supported by Aberdeen City Council. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in renewable energy no matter where they are based.

As instigator and former shareholder in the European Offshore Wind Deployment, AREG continues to support the project in recognition of its regional significance and game-changing nature. The learning from this project will expedite the development of the offshore wind industry, particularly in Aberdeen, and bring new ways of working into play. We encourage local energy companies, whether they are AREG members or not, to engage with the project and the business opportunities available.
