Project update: Inch Cape Offshore Substation

We’re proud to share the successful completion of our HV & LV electrical installation works on the Inch Cape Offshore Transformer Module (OTM) – a landmark project and the third full offshore substation to be built at the historic Wallsend yard in Newcastle.

This project sets a new benchmark for quality, safety, and technical delivery in the UK’s offshore renewables sector. Inch Cape is part of a 1.1 GW offshore wind farm that will power over 1.6 million homes across the UK.

Eastgate Engineering was proud to deliver:
✅ Full HV & LV Electrical Installation Scope
✅ 2 x 220kV / 545MVA Transformers – the largest of their kind used in a UK offshore wind farm
✅ 2 x 66kV Transformers
✅ Zero safety incidents
✅ Zero punch list items
✅ Delivered ahead of schedule

A huge thank you to our project team for their commitment to excellence throughout this build. The quality of delivery on this OTM is a credit to every person involved and sets the standard for future offshore substation projects across the UK and Europe.
