Kelvin Power Consultants were engaged by Danish energy company DONG Energy and Scottish Power Renewables to provide design and project management services for the development of the West of Duddon Sands Offshore Wind Farm. The project comprised of 108 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 389MW.

Kelvin Power Consultants provided a legal manager to oversee the negotiation of all necessary legal agreements for the project from land options, site compound leases and asset crossing agreements onshore and offshore. Assistance was also provided during the consents process. The role also involved providing support throughout the OFTO process from OFGEM prequalification through to preferred bidder due diligence.

From a design point of view Kelvin Power Consultants assisted with the development of the substation design which included basing a small team on site to oversee the construction works. We also assisted with planning drawings and attended public exhibitions where we were able to present a 3D walkthrough of the substation site.
