Siemens transmission and distribution Moray East project director Anwer Amara-Korba said: “This is one of the largest construction projects in Scotland and it is vital that companies based in the local area get to share in its success.
“It will be a key part of providing clean, sustainable energy for Scotland to meet its low carbon aims, providing enough power for one million homes.”
For this project, Siemens will be responsible for the complete construction of the onshore substation, including three SVC Plus advanced STATCOMs. It will also supply three offshore substation platform topsides for the project.
Siemens has appointed BAM Nuttall as the main subcontractor for carrying out civil works for the onshore substation, which will connect the project to the grid.
