Port of Nigg in the Cromarty Firth has been conditionally selected by Siemens Gamesa as the planned location for pre-assembly of wind turbines for the Moray West offshore wind farm.
As the preferred bidder for the supply of the offshore wind turbines, the company has signed a conditional agreement with Global Energy Group to use Nigg as the base for installation works.
Subject to award of a Contract for Difference (CfD) in 2022 and financial close, the wind turbine components will be marshalled at Nigg prior to installation and commissioning through 2024.
