Ziele
The project aims at enabling the UK to achieve its ambitious target of energy consumption based on renewable energy sources in 2020.
Sektor(en)
Vorgeschlagene EIB-Finanzierung (voraussichtlicher Betrag)
Up to GBP 500 million.
Gesamtkosten (voraussichtlicher Betrag)
GBP 1 387.50 million.
Umweltaspekte
The project falls under Annex II of Directive 85/337/EEC (as amended by 97/11/EC) on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). In this case, a full EIA was carried out for both the offshore and the onshore works. Planning consent for both onshore and offshore works was granted in early 2007.
Auftragsvergabe
The promoter is not subject to EU procurement directives (Utilities Directive 2004/17) for the purchase of the project’s equipment as the concession to build an offshore wind farm was granted following a competitive tender (Round 2) launched by the UK government. The promoter however has suitable procurement and purchasing procedures in place, which allow an appropriate selection of works, goods and services offered at competitive prices. The project will be delivered on a multi-contract basis, which is a common approach for offshore wind farms. The selected suppliers are reputable companies with substantial offshore experience.
