Procurement Other

According to the NSTA Energy Pathfinder listing for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, Inch Cape Offshore (the project operator/developer) has awarded a logistics contract to Enshore Subsea Limited. The contract is described as covering the “Transportation and Installation (T&I) of the Inch Cape export cables from a UK harbour to the offshore” site, and is recorded under the platform’s “Awarded contracts” section. The award date is given as 8 November 2024, indicating that this is a confirmed contract rather than a future tender or a framework still under evaluation. This award sits within a broader set of procurement activities reported for the 1.1 GW fixed-bottom Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, which is located 15 kilometres from the Angus coast and will export power via an approximately 85 kilometre cable to a new substation on the East Lothian coast at the former Cockenzie Power Plant. By appointing Enshore Subsea Limited to handle transportation and installation of the export cables from a UK harbour out to the offshore site, the project has secured a key element of its logistics and installation supply chain for the export system. This contract supports progression of the offshore construction phase, during which the export cable infrastructure must be installed to enable future transmission of power from the single offshore substation to the onshore grid connection point.
