Ocean Wind 1 awards offshore wind construction contracts

Ocean Wind 1, the 1.1 GW joint venture between Ørsted and PSEG, has awarded three major construction contracts for the project.

Progress continues on Ocean Wind 1, New Jersey’s first offshore wind farm.

The 1.1 GW joint venture between Ørsted and PSEG has awarded three major project construction contracts.

JINGOLI Power and Burns & McDonnell have been awarded engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts for the installation of two high-voltage substations and nearly nine miles of underground cable.

Engineering work on Ocean Wind 1 is already underway, and construction is expected to begin next summer. The two contracts could create 275 jobs in New Jersey, the parties said.

JINGOLI Power will be responsible for installing an underground electric export cable from landfall to B.L. England, the site of the onshore electric substation in Upper Township, and engineer, procure, and install a duct bank/manhole system that will house the export cables.

Burns & McDonnell, meanwhile, will install a substation in Upper Township that includes an interconnection to a nearby Atlantic City Electric substation. The company will also install a substation at Oyster Creek, with interconnection to a nearby First Energy substation, and install an underground export cable from the landfall to the onshore electric substation.
