Construction of Dajin's First Monopile Structures for Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm Initiated, According to Farm Sail Away's Announcement
The Inch Cape offshore wind farm, a joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables, is moving forward with its development as monopile deliveries commence. The 1.1 GW wind farm, located off the coast of Scotland, will consist of 72 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines.
Sif, a Dutch company, has been contracted to supply the monopiles for the project, with the agreement signed in May 2023. However, no specific details about the number or type of monopiles to be deployed by Les Alizés, a vessel used for monopile installation, have been provided.
Recently, China's CNOOD-Wenchong Heavy Industries (CWHI) also sent off the first batch of monopiles for the Inch Cape site. This marks the second Scottish project to receive monopiles from Dajin, after Moray West, following an agreement between Dajin and the developer in January 2024. Dajin cut the first steel for an Inch Cape monopile earlier this year at its Penglai facility.
The monopiles will be loaded at a newly built quayside at the Port of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland, and their installation will be handled by Jan De Nul. Unfortunately, no details about the type or number of monopiles sent by CWHI for the Inch Cape site have been specified.
While the monopiles are essential components of the wind farm, it's worth noting that the jackets for the turbines will be delivered by CFHI (COOEC Fluor). However, no details about the jackets for the turbines at the Inch Cape wind farm have been provided aside from the fact that they will be delivered by CFHI (COOHOEC Fluor).
The commissioning of the Inch Cape wind farm is expected to occur in 2027, marking a significant step forward in Scotland's renewable energy ambitions. The Inch Cape project is set to contribute significantly to Scotland's target of generating the equivalent of 100% of its annual electricity consumption from renewable sources by 2020.
