Aker Solutions Awarded Major Offshore Wind Contract

Aker Solutions Awarded Major Offshore Wind Contract

July 19, 2021 - Aker Solutions, as part of a consortium, has signed a major[1]

EPCI contract with an undisclosed customer to provide the HVDC (high-voltage,

direct current) transmission system for a large offshore wind project. More

details about the project is expected to be announced by the customer and its

partners during the third quarter of 2021.

For Aker Solutions, the scope will involve engineering, procurement,

construction and installation (EPCI) of an offshore HVDC converter platform.

This platform will consist of a steel jacket substructure and a topside platform

deck housing the electrical equipment. Work will start immediately with

installation planned to start in the second half of 2024 and final deliveries in

the second half of 2025.

In an offshore wind project, the role of an offshore HVDC platform is to collect

the AC power generated by the wind turbine generators (WTGs) and convert it to

DC before transmission through an export cable to the project's onshore

converter station and grid connection system.

Aker Solutions will book about NOK 3 billion as order intake related to this

award in the third quarter of 2021, in the Renewables and Field Development

segment.

[1]Aker Solutions defines a major contract as being NOK 3.0 billion and above.
