“The West of Orkney Windfarm brings together a unique combination of financial, technical and project development capability, with deep Scottish roots, a commitment to delivery, and a clear vision for the North of Scotland”. West of Orkney Windfarm
Project
Situated around 30km off the west coast of the Orkney isles, the West of Orkney Windfarm is a joint venture between 3 major wind energy players. Once completed the development will boast up to 125 fixed foundation wind turbines and 5 offshore substations while the network will be connected to shore via 5 export cables. The project has received planning permission for the onshore works and is awaiting consent from Scottish Ministers for the offshore infrastructure, with first power expected by 2030.
Requirements
The West of Orkney Windfarm had the requirement for project management software to support the project as they progress through project development. With deployment across the project team, Prism Energy’s project management software ‘Prism Apps’ is utilised daily, with the project team adopting multiple modules including action tracking and management of change to support the project.
Additionally, the West of Orkney Windfarm requested estimating support as they enter the concept phase of the development. The support involved pulling together a robust and coherent cost book for their reference case.
