Ocean Winds, as a global company with offshore wind farm projects around the world, organized a trip to the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland for employees of the Polish BC-Wind project.
The Moray West project is an 882-MW offshore wind farm off the coast of Scotland being developed by a consortium consisting of Ocean Winds, EDPR and Ignitis Group. It will start producing energy in 2024.
The visit, organized by Ocean Winds, was divided into two dates, in which each group had the opportunity to take a deeper dive into the construction process. Both groups visited the port of Nigg, where they were able to take a direct look at the components of the offshore wind farm, including the TP (Transition Piece) used in the Moray West construction.
The first group visited the installation port, where they had the opportunity to look at the monopiles that serve as the foundation of the Moray West farm and will be the foundation of the BC-Wind project. A visit to the installation ship allowed them to understand the loading procedures and familiarize themselves with the equipment used. This invaluable experience has expanded their knowledge and skills in offshore wind farm construction.

The second group had the opportunity to observe the loading of rotor blades onto the ship and learn about the process of installing nacelles. Their participation in these hands-on activities allowed them to better understand the scale and logistics of the Moray West project.
During the visits, discussions were held on the challenges of the project, problems encountered during implementation and lessons learned. Employees of the Moray West farm shared their experience and knowledge, which will be invaluable to our team developing their project in the Baltic Sea.

The Moray West project, which will be commissioned this year, will be in operation for more than 25 years. With 60 wind turbines over an area of 225 km² and a capacity of up to 882 MW, Moray West will be able to power up to 1.33 million homes, avoiding the emission of more than 1.1 million tons of greenhouse gases annually.
