Seabed Power awarded cable installation for UK's Walney offshore wind farm

6 August 2009 - Seabed Power has been awarded two contracts by DONG Energy for the transportation and installation (laying and burial) of more than 92km 33kV array cables and 44 and 43km 132kV export cables in two different routes for the UK's Walney Offshore wind farm project.

Being constructed by Dong Energy, Walney Offshore Windfarm is located in the East Irish Sea, west of Morecambe Bay, approximately 15km off the coastline of Walney Island and is an important element of the second round of wind development in the United Kingdom.

I don't want to take a NIMBY attitude to wind farms, but it does seem to me that offshore does hold a relatively inoffensive solution to this ongoing debate. I actually think wind farms are far from ugly ... but proximity to domestic dwellings is a big issue for me. If they could be kept at a distance of about 2km I'd be perfectly happy to have a wind farm in my locality.
