The design of a marine substation
The Five Estuaries project is an extension of the Galloper wind farm , a project that has 56 turbines and generates energy for more than 444,000 British homes. As the UK moves towards its clean energy goals, this new wind farm will play an important role in the country’s energy transition, with the capacity to generate electricity for thousands of homes when it is fully operational in 2031.

Key responsibilities include creating the conceptual design for the top of the substation and assessing the foundations for its support structure.
According to Cerianne Cummings, Kent ’s offshore wind director, the company is committed to supporting the continued growth of the UK wind sector . This contract strengthens Kent’s involvement in clean energy projects and its commitment to the UK Government’s goals to increase the use of offshore wind over the next decade.
