SgurrEnergy Wins Three Year Contract On Beatrice

3rd June 2016

SgurrEnergy has won a three-year construction monitoring contract for the 588MW Beatrice offshore wind farm in Scotland's outer Moray Firth.

The deal will include regular monitoring of construction and installation, checking progress and confirming consistency with the final design, reviewing permits and environmental requirements and undertaking site visits.
SgurrEnergy will also undertake risk management monitoring and review the project’s risk profile in accordance with the construction budget, it said.

The renewable energy consultancy has already acted as technical adviser to the lenders of the project, which reached financial close earlier this month. It is expected to start operating in 2019.

"Involvement in what will be the first commercially operating offshore wind farm in Scottish waters has been an extremely rewarding experience,"said SgurrEnergy senior renewable energy consultant Fiona Shaw.

“We are proud to have supported the project and look forward to our continuing involvement through the construction phase and into operations, ensuring that the lenders’ interests continue to be met.”
