Rovco preparing for North Sea Green Volt wind site surveys
July 26, 2024
Rovco will provide site characterization operations support for the planned Green Volt floating offshore wind farm, 80 km east of Peterhead, Scotland in the UK North Sea.
The Green Volt Floating Offshore Windfarm map shows the offshore development area; a potential export route to an oil and gas platform and landfall options; and surrounding oil & gas and offshore wind lease areas and existing infrastructure. This map contains data available from the North Sea Transition Authority, Crown Estate Scotland, the UK Hydrographic Office and the Scottish Government.
Rovco will provide site characterization operations support for the planned Green Volt floating offshore wind farm, 80 km east of Peterhead, Scotland in the UK North Sea.
The development, which is due to be fully operational in 2029, will feature up to 35 floating turbines generating up to 1.5 TWh of power.
Green Volt, a joint venture between Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn, could potentially power various producing oil and gas platforms in the Outer Moray Firth with 560-MW capacity.
Rovco’s scope covers geophysical surveys in the wind farm array area, the offshore and nearshore export cable corridors, and shallow Piezocone Penetration Test and vibrocoring.
The company’s DP2 survey vessel Glomar Supporter should start geophysical operations from Aberdeen shortly. The findings will assist the design of the anchors for the floating turbines.
