Bellrock Offshore Wind Farm Electrical Infrastructure Studies

planned

Entr, the consultancy arm of Aker Solutions, and its wholly owned subsidiary Unitech Power Systems have been awarded a contract by renewable energy producer Nadara to carry out electrical infrastructure studies for the proposed 1.8 GW Bellrock offshore wind farm off the coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland. The studies will support development of a high-level electrical infrastructure concept for the project, assessing transmission options from offshore generation to the onshore grid connection, including inter-array cables, offshore and onshore substations, export cables and grid integration. The work will also provide cost, schedule and supply chain insights to support procurement planning, refine the project's electrical infrastructure concept and reduce development risk.
