Smulders is delivering the two OTMs for Moray West under a contract the company won in a consortium with Siemens Energy in 2021.
According to the offshore wind farm’s developer, Ocean Winds, a key part of the selection was the plan by the consortium between Siemens Energy and Iemants (a subsidiary of Smulders) to bring assembly and fit out of the OTMs at the Smulders Projects UK yard in Newcastle.

The OTMs, as well as the monopile foundations, will be installed by Boskalis.
The offshore wind farm, located off the east coast of Scotland in the Moray Firth, will comprise 60 Siemens Gamesa 14.7 MW wind turbines.
Once it is fully operational in 2025, the 882 MW Moray West offshore wind farm is expected to meet the electricity requirements of about 650,000 households in Scotland for the next 25 years.
