Offshore Wind Consultants (OWC) is to provide engineering services for Simply Blue Energy and Total’s 96MW Erebus floating wind farm located in the Celtic Sea off the coast of Wales.
The three-year contract covers owner’s engineering and project development support, as well as holding the CDM role of principal designer.
OWC said it will manage the project out of its headquarters in London but will also utilise the company’s resources across the globe.
OWC director and UK country manager Katherine Phillips said: “As a group we have extensive experience from floating offshore developments as well as offshore wind developments.
“We will combine this competence to deliver the important engineering role for this exciting and ground-breaking project.”
Simply Blue Energy and Total have submitted an application to the Crown Estate for Erebus, which will be installed in an area with water depths of 70 metres.
The developers are planning to develop the project using Principle Power’s WindFloat technology.
OWC is a subsidiary of AqualisBraemar.
