Firm lands offshore wind farm contract

Aberdeen-headquartered PD&MS Group has secured a three-year agreement to support work on a vast offshore wind farm that will power the equivalent of two-thirds of all Scottish homes.

The firm will support SSE Renewables on the 1,075-megawatt Seagreen wind farm, located off the coast of Angus in the North Sea. The statutory inspection framework agreement also has options to be extended for a further two years. It follows on from PD&MS recently securing a three-year operations and maintenance (O&M) contract with Vattenfall to support its European operations and delivery of other projects in the wind sector.

Seagreen is a joint venture between Totalenergies and SSE Renewables, which is leading the construction and operational phases. Once operational, the facility will deliver enough green energy to power more than 1.6 million homes, equivalent to twothirds of all Scottish homes.
