Supply Chain Opportunities

Opportunities

A range of supply chain opportunities will be rolled out as the project progresses, from initial consultation and survey work to port and road infrastructure development, to floating substructure construction and installation. Ongoing Operation & Maintenance (O&M) contracts will also come on-stream post construction. Local suppliers will be encouraged at all stages with tender scoring weighted based on local investment content.

Benefits

Projects of this scale represent massive capital investment into local areas. A study in the UK found that a 500MW Celtic Sea FLOW site alone could generate 1,381 construction stage jobs and 33 O&M stage jobs in the Welsh and SW region and £630M in direct local investment during the construction phase with a further £8.8M annually for O&M¹. Our philosophy is to develop and nurture the local supply chain through phased “stepping-stone” developments, allowing local suppliers and communities to grow in tandem with the project stages.
