Pacific Orca installing foundations
Denmark-based offshore wind installation player Cadeler has signed a firm contract to install 72 Vestas 15MW offshore wind turbines at the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm.
The contract value is projected to fall within the range of €114m–130m ($122m–$139m), with installation set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Located 15 kilometres off the East Coast of Scotland in the North Sea, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm will generate enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately 1.6m UK households. For the successful execution of this project, Cadeler will utilize one of its two newbuild M-class installation vessels. The overall duration of the project is estimated to be around 249 days.
The wind farm is owned by Inch Cape Offshore Limited, an equal joint venture between Edinburgh-based renewable and sustainable energy company Red Rock Power and Ireland’s energy company ESB.
“With the recent renewal and continuing expansion of our fleet of jack-up offshore wind installation vessels – the industry’s largest – Cadeler is ready to meet the fast-growing and dynamic market demand,” said Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
