RES developed and and construction phases as an integrated part of Centrica’s project secured consent for Inner Dowsing prior to sale of the asset to Centrica delivery team. RES has provided core technical services including energy and subsequently had a leading role in procurement, engineering, yield assessment, electrical design and structural design, as well as key construction and operation of the overall project. personnel including onshore and offshore site representatives, project engineers and senior members of the project management team.

This 600MW project, subject to planning, could operation and maintenance far offshore. As well as scheduled visits, we generate as much as 20% of NI electricity needs in 2020. RES is leading have worked with the client and EPC contractor to ensure the met mast the consenting and environmental assessment phase of the project and systems were ready for operation. We looked at the viability of setting up working with its JV partners to define the final layout, location and grid a vessel club to allow met mast owners to share the use of a vessel and connection arrangements. developed a suite of BIMCO-based contracts for such a club.

RES supported DONG in creating the technical sections of the cable In 2012, RES, in a joint venture partnership set up with Iberdrola supply and onshore installation ITT(s) for Hornsea wind farm HVAC and Renewables, was awarded a zone in France’s first offshore wind farm HVDC transmission asset options. This also included revisions/updates of tender round. St Brieuc is a 500MW project located 20km off Côtes land route and landfall charting and standardisation of route definitions d’Armor, Brittany, northern France. A consortium, Ailes Marines, has for presentation with regard to both ITT and consents. Areas of potential been established to develop the project and subsequent construction and land route improvement were highlighted from lessons learnt for use on operation of the site. This project will create up to 2000 jobs and provide this and their other wind farm projects. electricity to cover the needs of approximately 840,000 people each year.
