Technical consultancy for the North Sea Energy Island

Description

In June 2020 the Danish parliament decided that two energy islands will be established in Denmark. Subsequently, in February 2021, the parties behind the agreement decided that the energy Island in the North Sea must be built as an artificial island, situated around 100 km from the Danish west coast. The overall objective of that project is to establish 10 GW wind power in three phases. The current tender concerns technical advisory for the first phase which includes establishment of 3 GW wind power including all required HVAC/HVDC equipment and connections to partner country Belgium and to Denmark. Lot 1: In June 2020 the Danish parliament decided that two energy islands will be established in Denmark. Subsequently, in February 2021, the parties behind the agreement decided that the energy Island in the North Sea must be built as an artificial island, situated around 100 km from the Danish west coast. The overall objective of that project is to establish 10 GW wind power in three phases. The current tender concerns technical consultancy for the first phase which includes establishment of 3 GW wind power including all required HVAC/HVDC equipment and connections to partner country Belgium and to Denmark. The overall scope of the consultancy services is to provide technical advice and support to Energinet in the following three phases of the project: 1) Basic design and tender preparation leading to the tender of the HVAC/DC equipment to be installed on the future energy island 2) Technical advice and support during the tendering phase 3) Technical advice and support during the HVAC/DC equipment contractors detailed design, construction, installation and commissioning until take-over of the works by Energinet and (as an option) supervision services during construction, installation and/or commissioning activities. The artificial island itself is not a part of the tendered scope. The construction of the artificial is-land is the responsibility of the Danish Energy Agency (DEA). Further, detailed design is not included in the scope, as Energinets intends to tender the main HVAC/DC equipment as an EPC contract (including detailed design done be the equipment supplier). Finally, the interconnecting cables are not part of the current study either. Please note that this is a negotiated procedure. With the exception of mandatory parts, the Tender Documents may as a result undergo changes as part of the negotiation process.
