On 18 July 2025, the Green Volt offshore wind project reached a key engineering milestone with the award of a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for its onshore substation to Worley. According to Vårgrønn’s news listing, the press release titled “Green Volt awards Onshore FEED contract to Worley” confirms that the joint venture project, developed by Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn, has formally selected Worley to undertake this FEED scope for the onshore substation. The listing notes that the award specifically covers front-end engineering and design activities for this critical onshore asset. This FEED award signals that Green Volt is progressing its technical definition and design work for the onshore substation component, moving beyond early-stage concept studies into more detailed engineering. By appointing Worley through this dedicated FEED contract, the developers are putting in place the engineering foundation required to refine the substation design and prepare for later development stages. The decision also underlines the active role of both Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn in steering project development and engaging specialist contractors via formal contract awards documented on Vårgrønn’s corporate news platform.
