EDF Energy Renewables has established a new project office to manage the construction of the 41.5MW Blyth offshore wind demonstration project in Northumberland.
The project’s 25-strong project team has now moved into the Blyth Workspace office centre to plan, manage and coordinate all the engineering and construction activities associated with the new development, EDF said.
Construction work has already begun on the onshore substation and offshore work will start in 2017, the company added.
Blyth project director Marcel Sunier said: “The new Blyth project office provides a single central location for all the project staff involved in the new development.
“This is a complex project and the workspace office provides the ideal location to ensure that close communication is maintained between the project team and the specialist contractors involved in the different aspects of the scheme.”
The project will feature five MHI Vestas 8.3MW turbines.
