Moray East offshore wind farm has announced the successful milestone of the first of its 100 9.5MW turbines to be installed in the Moray Firth.

Moray East’s first turbine; a proudly towering 200m representation of engineering success

In December, Moray East announced the completion of jacket installation - with 100 three-legged steel foundations installed on the sea-bed. Turbine components have been arriving in the Moray Firth, where they have been stored and preserved onshore. Pre-assembly work is being undertaken at Global Energy’s facility at Nigg. Turbines components are loaded onto an installation vessel and taken to site; the offshore installation, comprising of 5 lifts, will be completed by MHI Vestas and Fred Olsen .

Moray East’s WTG Package Manager Ewan Watson said: “A turbine is the most iconic representation of the new offshore wind industry, and I am delighted to issue images of Moray East’s first turbine, a proudly towering 200m representation of engineering success against some of the most challenging circumstances the world has known.

Moray East’s Head of Construction Enrique Alvarez Cordobes said “This has demanded precision engineering with massive components, requiring excellent co-operation and co-ordination between a range of companies both on land and at sea, and I would like to offer my thanks and congratulations to all those who have made this most distinctive and visible milestone possible.“
