The project is a joint venture between Shell Renewables and Energy Solutions (formerly New Energies) and Ocean Winds (a global offshore wind collaboration of Engie and EDP Renewables). Fugro conducted a high‑resolution Geo‑data acquisition project in the lease area and along the export cable routes.[3] Ventoline will advise on construction and cabling.[4] Bladt Industries and Semco Maritime will construct the offshore substation.[5]
