SSE Renewables has announced that more than £4.5 million has been spent so far with local suppliers in the initial stages of the
Viking Energy Wind Farm project.
Between June and the end of November, more than 30 companies in Shetland have already benefitted from their involvement, including Tulloch Developments Limited, whose team of 25 skilled local workers recently completed an access road.
John Nicols of S Malcolmson Plant Ltd and Brian Allan of FLJ, two local companies working on the Viking project in Shetland.
SSE Renewables’ Derek Hastings who is director of the project said:
SSE Renewables and Equinor have selected GE Renewable Energy as the preferred turbine supplier for the 1.2GW Dogger Bank C project in the UK North Sea.
The US manufacturer will deliver a 14MW version of its Haliade-X machine, an upscaling of its existing 13MW offering, as first reported by subscriber-only reNEWS this week.
A service supply agreement to provide operations and maintenance support for five years is also included.
The exact number of units is not yet clear, although around 90 are expected. The developers hold a CfD for 1.2GW but a capacity cap of the same amount in the project’s original consent was removed earlier this year.
