Texas-headquartered engineering outfit Endiprev has been selected to carry out mechanical and electrical completion and commissioning services for Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind farm, off Massachusetts.
The company will provide technical support and troubleshooting services for the duration of the project.
Vineyard Wind 1’s first GE Haliade-X wind turbine was recently installed at the 800MW project site.
Vineyard Wind 1 is jointly owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Iberdrola, through a subsidiary of Avangrid Renewables.
GE Vernova Offshore Wind is supplying a total of 62 wind turbines to the project.
A total of 120 Endiprev engineers and field technicians are expected to work on the Vineyard Wind Project over the next several months.
Endiprev secured the contract through GE Vernova.
Endiprev Business Development Manager Tiago Ornelas said: “Vineyard Wind represents the future of American offshore wind delivering clean, sustainable energy with tremendous potential for job creation and carbon reduction.
“We are thrilled to be supporting this ‘first-in-the-nation’ project.
“It signals the trust which GE Renewable Energy places in our work quality and professionalism.
“We have built a strong relationship over many years, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership with GE and contributing to the future advancement of offshore wind in US waters.”
Endiprev’s collaboration with GE Renewable Energy dates back to 2012, when it supported the installation of the first Haliade 150 Prototype in France.
