| Atkins to form offshore wind alliance with SSE Atkins, the largest engineering consultancy in the UK, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Scottish and Southern Energy PLC (SSE) to join a framework of key suppliers designed to help to drive efficiencies in its offshore wind programme. Atkins' proposed role will include the provision of expert engineering design advice as part of an alliance of leading companies who are supporting SSE in its drive to boost its renewable energy provision. Atkins' MoU agreement with Scottish and Southern Energy PLC has also been replicated by SSE with Burntisland Fabrications Ltd, Siemens plc, Siemens Transmission and Distribution Limited and Subsea 7 Limited. The supplier framework will form an offshore wind alliance designed to help secure substantial reductions in the cost of delivered power from offshore wind farms. Over the next few months, the parties will all work closely together to agree the formal commercial arrangements of the alliance before embarking on design activities. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
