A Great Yarmouth firm has landed a multi-million pound contract to perform modifications to the transition pieces on the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm.
Stowen Group, which specialises in offshore project management and construction, was awarded the contract by wind farm operator Equinor after a competitive tender process.
The project, valued at over £5 million, will see Stowen take on the role of principal contractor, managing the project in its entirety.
This includes overseeing vessel management, onshore fabrication, offshore installation, medical cover and quality control in partnership with the chosen classification society.
“We are delighted that Equinor has awarded Stowen this prestigious contract,” said Kieron Ford, renewables managing director at Stowen Group. “This project highlights the trust placed in our capabilities, and we are excited to continuing working on a local offshore wind farm that supports the UK’s clean energy future.
“Our team is fully prepared to deliver a successful and efficient project, drawing on our expertise in managing complex offshore works.”
The Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm is located around 17km off the north Norfolk coast and provides clean energy to over 280,000 homes in the UK.
