Lamprell has moved a step closer to securing a major contract for the Moray West Offshore Wind Farm project with a capacity reservation agreement.
The reservation agreement secures capacity at Lamprell’s Hamriyah yard for the supply of 60 wind turbine generator transition pieces and two transition pieces for the two offshore substations.
The Moray West Offshore Wind Farm is being developed by Ocean Winds, a joint venture between EDP Renewables (EDPR) and ENGIE and full notice to proceed with the contract is expected in the second half of the year.
The deal is classified by Lamprell as a “very large contract” meaning it is worth in excess of $200m. The contract also includes the shipping of the 62 transitions pieces to a marshalling port in the UK.
Christopher McDonald, CEO of Lamprell said: “Having previously executed a large scope project for the Moray East wind farm, I am delighted that we have been able to offer a competitive solution for Moray West.
“The placing of such reservation agreements is a very positive sign of forward planning and addressing limited capacity in the offshore wind fabrication industry. We look forward to working closely with the team from Ocean Winds in the period ahead.”
