Fugro has secured a significant geotechnical survey contract from SSE for the Berwick Bank B phase of the ambitious Berwick Bank offshore wind project located in the North Sea. This phase is part of a broader initiative aimed at achieving a total offshore wind capacity of 4.1 GW across three phases. If fully realized, Berwick Bank has the potential to become the largest offshore wind farm globally, generating sufficient clean electricity to supply over six million homes in the UK each year. The project underscores the growing commitment to renewable energy and the transition towards sustainable power sources.
