The event formed day 2 of the East of England Energy Group’s Southern North Sea (SNS) conference. ScottishPower Renewables is in the process of finalising its major contracts for the construction and supply of components for the £2.5bn East Anglia ONE windfarm and together with its contractors outlined future opportunities on the project.

The supply chain event saw a number of the company’s East Anglia ONE contractors present to the audience about the scope of works to be carried out. Each contractor also detailed the services they would be looking to utilise to carry out the works and explained how businesses could get involved in the project.

Opportunities on the construction of East Anglia ONE range from civil and electrical works, vessel and ports support, to technicians, logistics and more. For SMEs keen to be involved in the project, and the offshore wind industry in general, the event presented a brilliant opportunity to gain a real insight into what is required to build a project such as East Anglia ONE.
