Early Development Other

As part of early development for the Western Star offshore grid connection, Arup’s energy and electrical engineers analysed multiple export-to-grid design scenarios for Simply Blue Group’s 1.35 GW Western Star Floating Offshore Wind project and selected a preferred design scenario, including landfall location and export cable route. Arup then progressed pre-FEED design for this preferred export configuration to reduce risk, define the basis for procuring full FEED, and estimate initial system costs.
