Subsea 7 Confirms Award of Major Contract to Seaway7 for Offshore Wind Power Development in the UK

The offshore industry giant, Subsea 7 S.A., confirmed today the granting of a significant contract to Seaway7, a subsidiary of the Subsea7 Group. The ScottishPower Renewables awarded the contract for the transportation and installation of foundations and cables for the East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm in the UK. The contract announcement comes a year after the preferred bidder was disclosed.

East Anglia THREE: Progress in Offshore Wind Power in the UK

The East Anglia THREE wind farm, located in the North Sea, 69 kilometers off the coast of Suffolk in the UK, will become the second largest wind farm in the world when it begins operations in 2026. The farm, equipped with 95 turbines of 14.7MW, will have a total capacity of 1,400MW. The power generation will be enough to meet the electricity demand of more than 1.3 million homes with green energy.

Seaway7, one of the leaders in offshore wind energy, will play a vital role in delivering the project. The scope of its work includes the transportation, logistics, and installation of 95 monopile foundations, seabed preparation, and erosion protection. In addition, the company will also be responsible for the engineering, supply, and installation of the 95 internal cables. Seaway7 will utilize heavy-lift vessels, cable installation boats, and its heavy transport fleet to manage the significant transportation scope.

Seaway7, with the support of its parent company Subsea 7, will lead the project’s execution from its offices in Aberdeen and Sutton in the UK. The project will advance from the initial engineering work throughout 2023, with offshore activities scheduled to begin in 2024.

Ross Ovens, managing director of ScottishPower Renewables for the East Anglia Hub offshore wind farms, celebrated the confirmation of the contract with Seaway7, expressing his enthusiasm for the future of offshore wind energy in the UK. Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO of Seaway7, shared the same enthusiasm, highlighting the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its position in the UK’s offshore wind market and working in partnership with ScottishPower Renewables to deliver one of the largest offshore wind complexes in the world.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

They wanted artificial intelligence, but they drained the water from a village in Mexico: the water consumption of data centers caused a hepatitis outbreak, and big tech companies Amazon, Microsoft, and Google were forced to halt billion-dollar projects.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

NASA captured by satellite an underwater volcano erupting in the Bismarck Sea, in the Pacific, and now scientists are waiting to see if a new island will be born there in front of the cameras, a very rare phenomenon to witness live from space.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
