Taylor Woodrow has won a civils works package on the \u00a34bn East Anglia 2 offshore windfarm.<\/p>\n

The client, Scottish Power Renewables, announced the award today (12 December).<\/p>\n

Vinci<\/a>-owned Taylor Woodrow\u2019s work on the scheme will include highway improvement works as well as landscaping and screening.<\/p>\n

The value of the contract has not been disclosed, but Scottish Power Renewables said it would support around 80 jobs.<\/p>\n

Ross Ovens, the client\u2019s managing director for offshore, said: \u201cTaylor Woodrow has an outstanding reputation and successful track record of delivering vital infrastructure projects like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor Woodrow managing director Phil Skegg said: \u201cBeing part of the Scottish Power Renewables supply chain family is a great reward for our own team and builds on the successful work being done with other partners to provide vital infrastructure for the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Onshore substation works for East Anglia 2 will start in 2025, with the facility planned to come into operation in 2028.<\/p>\n

The windfarm, situated almost 33km off the Suffolk coast, is set to have capacity to produce 963MW of energy, enough to power one million homes.<\/p>\n

Turbine blades for the project will be built by Siemens Gamesa at its facility in Hull.<\/p>\n

Last month Scottish Power, owned by Spanish multinational Iberdrola, announced it would double its investment in the UK from \u00a312bn to \u00a324bn between 2024 and 2028.<\/p>\n

At the time, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said: \u201cThis investment is a huge vote of confidence in the UK\u2019s growing renewables sector and will power our clean energy future \u2013 supporting skilled jobs and green growth in Hull and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffshore wind is the backbone of our clean power 2030 mission; every new turbine in our waters helps us boost energy security, protect consumers, and tackle the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are making the UK a clean energy superpower, backing industry to build cleaner global supply chains, and to drive investment into our country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
