GHD has been selected to provide the electrical front-end engineering design (FEED) for the initial phase of Ocean Winds’ 2GW Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm, off Scotland.
The project expands Ocean Winds’ offshore-wind presence in Scotland, following Moray East and Moray West, and will significantly increase energy production in the Moray Firth.
GHD’s involvement includes evaluating two turbine designs and developing the FEED for key electrical components, such as inter-array cables, the offshore high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) substation, power-system configuration, export cables, landfall and transition bays, onshore cabling, and substation equipment.
GHD’s teams in Newcastle and Manchester will oversee the FEED, focusing on efficiency, standardisation, and the integration of innovative approaches in electrical infrastructure.
With nine UK offices and a growing renewable-energy portfolio, GHD is well-positioned to contribute to Scotland’s offshore-wind sector and support the expansion of clean-energy capacity in the region.
