MEMBER NEWS: Fulkrum awarded contract for world’s largest offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank

Fulkrum, a leading provider of inspection, expediting, auditing and technical staffing to the energy industry, has secured a contract to support the QA/QC activities for the Dogger Bank Wind Farm project.

Fulkrum will provide inspection services during the Dogger Bank A development stage, with a possibility of contract extension to zones B and C, ensuring conformity and quality of the wind turbines and main components, including blades, tower sections and nacelle.

Located off the east coast of Yorkshire, Dogger Bank will consist of 277 GE Haliade-X turbines of 13 MW and 14 MV, with each of the three zones having an installed generation capacity of 1.2GW.

James Dunsford, Fulkrum’s Business Development Manager – Renewables, commented: “We are delighted to be working on this project which is set to be the world’s largest offshore wind farm and supply 5% of the country’s demand upon completion.

This contract is testament to Fulkrum’s extensive track record and the consistently reliable work performed by our worldwide team of inspectors. Having grown strategically in the past two years, we are happy to showcase our cross-industry capabilities and support local projects that will contribute to the UK’s goals for a net zero future.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
