SEMBCORP Marine and its consortium partner have been picked by German utilities company RWE as the preferred suppliers of the electrical transmission system for one of the world's biggest offshore wind farms located at sea north-east of the United Kingdom.

Sembcorp Marine, together with GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions, will start early design works for the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm this month. The full contract is subject to a final investment decision, which is due in the first quarter of 2021. If approved, it is expected that Sembcorp Marine will build and install the wind farm’s offshore converter platform.

As the consortium leader, GE’s Grid Solutions will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the two HVDC converter stations. The 593 sq km wind farm, located on Dogger Bank in the North Sea, represents about £3 billion in investment in the UK’s electricity infrastructure. It will provide clean electricity to almost 1.2 million homes in the UK, the marine arm of Sembcorp Industries said.
