Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore has won a five-year operations and maintenance contract for the Lynn and Inner Dowsing offshore wind farms near Skegness, Lincolnshire.
XceCo appointed the independent service provider to take on the work from 1 April 2027. The agreement covers 54 Siemens SWT-3.6-107 turbines with a combined installed capacity of 194.4MW.
The two adjacent wind farms have operated since 2009. XceCo will continue as asset manager while DWT assumes the agreed maintenance responsibilities.
In its 12 November announcement, DWT said preparations already include technical handover, workforce integration, operating systems and facilities. It did not announce a recruitment total.
The contract changes how an existing UK wind fleet is serviced; it does not add new generating capacity.
