Companies can now register an interest in supplying Innogy's 1200MW Sofia offshore wind farm, which will be located 165km off the north-east coast of England.
A dedicated digital portal has been set up for contractors and suppliers to register capabilities and interest in working on the project, formerly known as Dogger Bank Teesside B.
Sofia project director David Few said: “The team is committed to both delivering a winning (Contracts for Difference) bid for Sofia and maximising the supply chain benefits for the north-east and wider UK.”
To support this we have launched the Sofia offshore wind farm portal for companies to register their interest in supply chain opportunities.
Registering is the most effective way for suppliers to ensure their goods or services are considered for suitable procurement opportunities.
“The register will enable us and our tier one contractors, once they are in place, to easily identify companies with the right skills and experience required to support the project at the right time.”
Innogy said contracts will be available for a full range of jobs, including onshore enabling and grid connection, turbine and balance of plant supply, offshore installation and commissioning, operations and maintenance and support services.
It expects to make a final investment decision on the project in 2020, assuming a successful outcome in the CfD auction.
