g2 Energy were engaged by the Weightman Family to undertake the Balance of Plant Civil, Electrical & Contestable works on a single 500kW Wind Turbine at Hallfield Farm, Peterlee, County Durham.
This is an EWT 500kW machine with a 50m tower, installed under the Governments ‘Feed in Tariff’ scheme, where the generated electricity is being exported back into the national grid.
g2 Energy were responsible for the complete Balance of Plant Civil, Electrical and Contestable works, as well as liaising with the local DNO (Northern Powergrid) regarding the 20kV electrical grid connection, which required the design and installation of a 1400m cable route.
The Civil Design & Build works included:
Geotechnical Site Survey
Wind Turbine Foundation design & build
Combined DNO 20kV substation block building
The Electrical Design & Build works included:
DNO & Client Substation design
20kV switchgear installation & commissioning
Earthing Survey, design (using CDEGS software) & installation
20kV / 690v and 240v cable design and layouts
Contestable Works—20kV HV underground distribution system:
Trench works and cable lay across public highways and private land (approx 1400m) to Northern Powergrid’s specification
Supply & installation of DNO approved 20kV switchgear, NVD protection panel and Battery charger
g2 Energy were appointed as the Principal Contractor on site and were therefore responsible for Project Managing the works from start to finish, engaging and coordinating all Contractors on site and ensuring the site workforce were inducted, informed and trained on Health & Safety.
To date, g2 Energy have connected 25 single Wind Turbines, 31 Solar Farms & 1 AD Plant. This equates to a total of over 133 Megawatts of renewable energy connected to the national electricity grid.
