Green Volt offshore windfarm awards cable engineering role to OWC
Leading offshore wind developers Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn are delivering Green Volt, a 560 MW floating windfarm off the East Coast of Scotland and set to become Europe’s first commercial-scale floating offshore windfarm.

Green Volt will deliver electrification of participating North Sea oil and gas platforms – reducing their carbon emissions, while providing clean, secure power to the UK grid, benefitting UK consumers and industry.
“We are proud to be part of such a pioneering project and to contribute with Scotland-based expertise to solve another key part of the project. Green Volt both advances floating wind and redefines how offshore energy systems can be decarbonised.”
Jonathan Love, OWC Project Manager for Green Volt
Managed from Scotland
OWC’s latest scope of work includes cable engineering for both offshore and onshore cables. The subsea scope focuses primarily on the export cable, but OWC will also support inter array cable system design and alignment. The onshore engineering scope includes technical responsibility for the cable that runs from the landfall site near Aberdeen to an onshore substation.
OWC’s operation in Scotland will manage the cable engineering work scope, which will be completed later this year.
“It is a privilege to support a project that is setting new standards for floating wind and local content. Our contribution demonstrates the value of UK-based engineering talent and strengthens our position as a go-to partner for complex offshore wind developments.”
Will Cleverly, CEO of OWC
Supported Green Volt since 2023
The cable engineering package is the latest of many OWC assignments at the Green Volt project, which OWC has supported since May 2023, including provision of a range of owner’s engineering services.
OWC’s involvement so far spans over 15 project roles, including WTG package manager, certification manager, metocean lead, and project risk Lead, as well as technical scopes such as CfD requirements studies, concept engineering reviews, and port and cable assessments.
“Green Volt is proving that floating wind technology can scale. There is huge opportunity to build a UK supply chain ready to act on the global opportunities ahead. We’re delighted to be working with OWC for cable engineering on the project, following their involvement in other workstreams over the past couple of years. To have this competence available on our doorstep in Scotland is a strength for the project.”
Green Volt is set to become Europe’s first commercial-scale floating offshore wind farm, delivering clean power to the UK grid and decarbonising North Sea platforms. OWC is proud to support this pioneering project with in-country expertise across Scotland, England, and Ireland.
