Wood has been awarded a contract by fabricator Dragados Offshore to deliver engineering design and provide regulatory support for the development of three 2GW offshore wind convertor stations in the German North Sea.
The projects were not specified but are understood to be for TenneT grid connections under a contract that will be executed by Dragados Offshore in partnership with Siemens Energy.
Wood’s experts in the UK, India and Spain will work on the engineering design and regulatory support, the consultancy said.
John Day, president of oil, gas & power projects at Wood, said: “Building on our strong engineering heritage and long-standing relationship with Dragados Offshore, we are delighted to be partnering with them on this world-leading project, helping to deliver one of the largest offshore wind to grid connections.
“An integrated energy system is critical to maintaining energy security while achieving the world’s net zero ambitions.
“This project is a significant step in creating the scale and infrastructure required to secure both.
“Our technical expertise will ensure successful project delivery as we design and deliver future renewable energy systems.”
