(CercleFinance.com) – The French construction group Eiffage announced on Tuesday that it had won two ‘major’ contracts in the field of offshore wind in the United Kingdom.
The two contracts obtained through Smulders – the Belgian subsidiary of Eiffage Métal – relate to the manufacture of foundations and electrical substations for two wind farms located off the British coast.
Smulders won the contract with the Dutch Sif to manufacture and supply the 87 foundations, each consisting of a monopile and a transition piece, for the third and final phase of the Dogger Bank project.
In November 2020, this same consortium won a contract for the construction of 190 foundations for the first two phases of the project.
The Dogger Bank wind farm, which brings together SSE Renewables, Equinor and Eni, will be located in the North Sea off the English coast of Yorkshire.
With a capacity of 3.6 GW, it will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm when completed in 2026 and will power more than six million homes in the UK.
Smulders also won a contract with Siemens Energy for the manufacture of two electrical substations to centralize and
transforming the energy produced by the 85 wind turbines at Moray West wind farm.
The project – located off the north-east coast of Scotland – will display, when it comes into operation in 2024, a power of 860 MW to be able to supply up to 640,000 British homes.
