Iberdrola hires ESCO to oversee Windanker offshore installation work

Energy and marine consultancy ESCO, a subsidiary of ESCO Consultants ASA, has been awarded a sizeable* contract to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services to support the offshore construction of Iberdrola’s 315 MW Windanker offshore wind farm, offshore Germany.

ESCO Germany, based in Hamburg, will provide MWS services to support the offshore transportation and installation (T&I) campaign relating to the foundations, inter-array cables and wind turbine generators (WTGs). Its scope of work includes the provision of expert technical review and approval of documents, operations and vessels relating to the warranted assets.

“We are pleased to support Iberdrola in their construction of Germany’s all-important Windanker offshore wind farm. This follows on from ESCO’s previous collaboration with Iberdrola in Germany on the Baltic Eagle project – reflecting our successful working relationship and the value we are able to bring to Germany’s growing offshore wind market. We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue applying our technical know-how and track-record in offshore wind to drive the continued expansion of Germany’s renewable energy generations.”

Owain Segal, CEO of ESCO Consultants

The Windanker project is a major offshore wind farm in Germany located in the Baltic Sea, located about 25 kilometres offshore. It consists of 21 15MW WTGs, with a combined capacity of 315MW. The installation activities are scheduled for 2025 and 2026, with project commissioning expected by the end of 2026.

In the German offshore wind market alone, ESCO and its sister company JMC has a project involvement track-record of over 20 offshore wind farms and a combined capacity of over 9GW to date.

ESCO is part of Oslo-listed ESCO Consultants ASA.

*ESCO Consultants defines a sizeable contract as between USD 1 million and USD 3 million.
