Scottish Support For Chinese Wind Farm

Construction News Image
A new contract has been signed that will see Scottish renewable energy consultancy, SgurrEnergy, provide support for the development of the firs offshore wind farm in the Guangdong province, China.

The contract, which will be delivered over two years, will see SgurrEnergy, part of Wood Group, advise the Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute (GEDI) on its landmark Zhuhai offshore wind farm project.

The company, along with offshore experts, Wood Group Kenny, will provide advice on areas such as wind farm layout, site selection and design, and ocean hydrometeorology, as well as conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment.

Humza Yousaf, Scottish Minister for External Affairs was at the signing in Beijing and said: "SgurrEnergy already has a very strong track record of providing renewables expertise, knowledge and technology to China as it works towards meeting its green energy targets, and this announcement is great news for both countries.

"It is another positive step forward in strengthening Sino-Scottish links and confirming Scotland's reputation as a global leader in the development of renewable energy."

This newest project continues to build on SgurrEnergy's strong track record for the provision of consultancy on offshore wind development in China. The company was involved in the Jiangsu offshore wind farm project and has worked alongside the main Chinese utility providers via the World Bank's China Renewable Energy Scale-up Programme and EU Aid China.
