Green Volt Cable Engineering Contract Awarded to OWC
In a significant milestone for the renewable energy sector, Green Volt's floating offshore wind farm has been awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) in the UK's Allocation Round 6 (AR6), making it the only such project to receive a contract.
The project, one of the Scottish INTOG round winners, is planned to have up to 35 floating wind turbines, totalling up to 560 MW in installed capacity. This project marks an important step towards the UK's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Green Volt secured both onshore and offshore planning consents last year, paving the way for the project's development. The onshore engineering scope includes technical responsibility for the cable that runs from the landfall site near Aberdeen to an onshore substation.
OWC, a leading provider of cable engineering services, has been awarded a contract to provide cable engineering support for the Green Volt floating offshore wind farm in Scotland. The scope of work for OWC includes cable engineering for both offshore and onshore cables. The subsea scope focuses primarily on the export cable, and OWC will also support inter-array cable system design and alignment.
Johnathan Love, the OWC Project Manager for Green Volt, will lead the team in managing the cable engineering work scope, which is planned to be completed later this year.
In addition, the Danish engineering group Ramboll has been awarded the contract for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) services for the onshore substation of the Green Volt Floating Offshore Wind Farm in Scotland. Tommy Flindt, who has been appointed as the Global Director for Offshore Substations within Ramboll's Wind Division, will lead this effort starting August 1, 2025.
Worley has also been awarded a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for the onshore substation of the Green Volt project.
Green Volt's floating wind project in the UK's Allocation Round 6 (AR6) is the only project in the round to receive a Contract for Difference (CfD), further emphasising its significance in the UK's renewable energy landscape. The project's success is a testament to the potential of floating wind technology and the UK's commitment to a sustainable future.
