Moray
West

The Moray West Project located in the Moray Firth region of Scotland has an installed capacity of 882 MW consisting of  60 SG 14-222 DD wind turbines feeding 2 offshore substations all supported by monopile and transition piece based foundations. This project, a collaboration among Ocean Winds, EDPR, and Ignites Group, , it is expected to power approximately 640,000 homes, , contributing to an annual avoidance of 1.1 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over a surface area of 225 square kilometres. 

OES Group were contracted at an early stage by Ocean Winds to support the corrosion protection strategy of the foundations. Externally OES were able to design and supply specialist ICCP anode constructions to protect the entire submerged and buried foundation, thus eliminating the use of external Galvanic anode cages saving 1,000s of tonnes of secondary steel as well as huge reductions in transport and installation as the ICCP system was fully installed onshore. Internally the foundations were protected by OES Group TiMMO tube anodes optimising the coating strategy and offering the possibilities of life extension in the future. The system is regulated by OES Groups unique ICCP reference electrodes which are the most accurate in the market and all controlled by OES Groups market leading ICCP control cabinet
