Seaway 7, the renewables unit of Oslo-listed Subsea 7, has won a contract from ScottishPower Renewables for the transport and installation of the inter-array cables of the East Anglia Two offshore wind project.

ScottishPower Renewables’ £4bn ($5.16bn) East Anglia Two offshore wind farm will be located around 33 km from the east coast of England in the Southern North Sea. It will contribute up to 960MW of green energy, enough to power the equivalent of almost 1m 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 4GW of renewable energy generation capacity.

Seaway 7’s scope of work on the offshore wind farm includes the engineering, supply, and installation of the 64 inter-array cables. Execution of the scope will be led from Seaway 7’s Aberdeen office with offshore activities scheduled to begin in 2027.

“It’s great to confirm so much of our supply chain for East Anglia Two on the back of achieving our CfD. Getting our 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,” said Charlie Jordan, ScottishPower Renewables’ CEO.

Precise financial details were not revealed but a substantial deal such as this one is defined by Subsea 7 as being between $150m and $300m.

On Tuesday, offshore wind vessels player Cadeler inked a firm deal with ScottishPower Renewables to transport and install wind turbine generators and foundations for the East Anglia Two project. The contract is worth between $392m and $416m utilising one of the company’s newbuild A-class units together with an O-class vessel from Cadeler’s existing fleet.
