Seaway7 wins East Anglia TWO OWF inter-array cable T&I contract

Seaway7, part of the Subsea7 Group, has been awarded a substantial contract by ScottishPower Renewables for the transport and installation of the inter-array cables of the 960 MW East Anglia TWO offshore wind project.

Seaway7’s scope of work includes the engineering, supply and installation of the 64 inter-array cables. Execution of the scope will be led from Seaway7’s Aberdeen office in the UK, with offshore activities scheduled to commence in 2027.

Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO Seaway7, said: “This award builds upon our leading position in the UK and represents a significant contribution to the UK’s renewable target. With this project we also look forward to continuing our relationship with ScottishPower Renewables on our second East Anglia Hub project together, with East Anglia THREE currently in execution.”

Seaway7 previously, in 2023, also won the contract for the transport and installation of the foundations and inner-array cables for the East Anglia THREE offshore farm.

Charlie Jordan, ScottishPower Renewables’ CEO said: “It’s great to confirm so much of our supply chain for East Anglia TWO on the back of achieving our CfD and we look forward to building on the positive working relationship we already have with Seaway7 on East Anglia THREE.

“Getting our EA TWO supply chain in place through confirmed contracts like this means we’re ready to hit the ground – and water! – running and bring another gigawatt of clean, green energy to life, – making a real difference for people, places and planet for decades to come.”

East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm

ScottishPower Renewables £4 billion East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm will be located around 33 kilometres from the east coast of England in the Southern North Sea. Successful in the UK Government’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 6 in September 2024, it will contribute up to 960 MW of clean, green energy – enough to power the equivalent of almost one million homes.

It is one of three consented offshore wind farm developments that, together with the operational East Anglia ONE, will form the East Anglia Hub, which will ultimately deliver 4,000 MW of renewable energy generation capacity. Source: Seaway7
