Papendrecht, 7 January 2019
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V.
(Boskalis) has signed an exclusive Pre-Construction Agreement (PCA)
for the Inch Cape offshore wind farm project. The award was made by
Inch Cape Offshore Limited (ICOL), a subsidiary of Red Rock Power
Ltd. The project scope includes the transportation and installation
of the wind turbine foundations, the offshore substation and
cables.
The award of the contract is subject to a
successful bid by ICOL in the next UK Contracts for Difference
auction (mid 2019) and financial close (second half of 2020). The
contract size, excluding procurement, is expected to exceed
EUR 200 million. Boskalis will in the coming months
assist with the further engineering and design of the project. The
ultimate size of the contract including the cost associated with
the supply of the wind turbine foundations and inter-array cables
will be determined during this period.
The PCA includes the engineering, supply,
transportation and installation of up to 72 pre-piled jacket
foundations and up to 84 inter-array cables in addition to the
transportation and installation of the offshore substation. The
Bokalift 1 crane vessel will be deployed for the transportation and
installation of the foundations as well as the offshore substation
foundation, sub-structure and topside. Furthermore, Boskalis will
in consortium with NKT supply and install two export cables of 85
kilometer each, connecting the offshore substation to the mainland.
The Inch Cape offshore wind farm will be located in the North Sea,
15km off the Angus Coast in the East of Scotland. Boskalis aims to
maximize UK local content for its scope of work. The project is
scheduled to be executed in the period 2021-2022, in time to enable
Inch Cape to meet the CfD 3 delivery windows between 2023 to
2025.
Boskalis' strategy is aimed at benefitting from
key macro-economic factors which drive worldwide demand in our
markets: expansion of the global economy, increase in energy
consumption, global population growth and the challenges that go
hand in hand with climate change. This project is related to the
development of generating renewable energy due to climate change
and increasing energy consumption.
