Cadeler Signs Contract to Install Scottish Wind Turbines

Denmark-based offshore wind installation company Cadeler has secured a firm contract to install 72 Vestas 15MW offshore wind turbines at the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm.

The contract is estimated to be valued between €114 million and €130 million ($122 million to $139 million), with the installation set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Situated 15 kilometers off the East Coast of Scotland in the North Sea, the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm will produce enough energy to supply approximately 1.6 million UK households. To complete this project, Cadeler will deploy one of its two new M-class installation vessels. The entire project is expected to take around 249 days.

The wind farm is owned by Inch Cape Offshore Limited, a 50/50 joint venture between Edinburgh-based renewable energy company Red Rock Power and Ireland's energy company ESB.

“With the recent renewal and continuing expansion of our fleet of jack-up offshore wind installation vessels – the industry’s largest – Cadeler is ready to meet the fast-growing and dynamic market demand,” stated Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
