Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm – Scotland's Largest Offshore Wind Farm

Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm – Scotland's Largest Offshore Wind Farm

JDR supplied 180 km of 33 kV inter-array cables and associated accessories for the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, located 13 km off the Scottish coast. These cables enabled the transmission of energy from the wind turbines to local substations. Manufactured at JDR’s facility in Hartlepool, UK, the cables were then transported to Scotland and installed at the Beatrice wind farm.

The 588 MW project supplies power to 450,000 homes and was one of the first offshore wind farms to be installed in such deep waters. Its objective was to connect 5 MW turbines to an offshore platform, representing a significant step forward in the development of offshore wind energy.

A team of 48 technicians carried out the installation of the cables and associated equipment on the wind turbine platforms, supported by a six-person on-site assistance team. The Beatrice project was a key milestone in offshore wind farm development, demonstrating the potential of renewable energy in challenging marine conditions.
