Solution
The key deliverables on this project are being provided in three phases to meet the needs of the client as they move into the construction phase.
- In the initial phase OEG Renewables has been providing specialist consultation and guidance to Dominion Energy on the establishment of key project procedures and specification ahead of the construction phase.
- This has been followed by the recruitment and induction of locally employed Trainee Marine Coordinators, and the supervision and training of Dominion staff in readiness for the commencement of active marine operations.
- Additionally, 4 local Permit Coordinators have been recruited by OEG Renewables to support the CVOW project through the construction phase.
OEG Renewables is positioning itself to be a key player in the expanding North American offshore wind sector, supporting major wind farm developers and OEMs with specialist services and products to meet a range of project requirements. In North America the market drivers for growth in the offshore wind sector are strong given supportive government policies and ambitions to achieve offshore power generating capacity of 30GW by 2030 and 110GW by 2050.
