Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, a project company comprising innogy and Statkraft, has awarded Dalcour Maclaren with a contract for Land Agent services as preparation for the onshore construction are under way.
Triton Knoll Project Director James Cotter , said: “It’s important to Triton Knoll that, as we undertake survey works and prepare for the start of construction, we maintain a constructive and positive relationship with our landowners and their agents, and that they are supported in their dealings with us. Dalcour Maclaren has significant experience in this field and has already undertaken work for the project during 2016.”
Triton Knoll secured consent for the offshore array in July 2013 and the electrical system in September 2016 . Both onshore and offshore site investigation works have already been carried out. Still, there are a number of key stages for the project to complete, including a Final Investment Decision, after which the onshore construction could begin.
Dalcour Maclaren Director Andrew Barker said: “ We are delighted to have been awarded the contract by Triton Knoll at a critical point in the project development, and anticipate remaining closely involved over the next three years. We are now poised to take on the task of dealing with over 120 landowners, with an experienced and established team that’s ready to hit the ground running. ”
The 900MW offshore wind farm will be located some 32km off the Lincolnshire coast and 50km off the coast of North Norfolk.
Triton Knoll is being developed as a joint venture between Innogy Renewables UK (innogy) (50%) and Statkraft (50%), with innogy managing the project on behalf of the partnership.
