Project Beatrice - A One Hubbell Solution

Chalmit are proud to have provided all lighting solutions for the Beatrice Windfarm Project, ensuring ideal lighting solutions for wet and windy offshore wind farm conditions. Nearly 1,000 Chalmit Protecta LEDs will be supplied for the wind farm. With control stations and cable glands being supplied by Hawke, Project Beatrice benefits from a true One Hubbell solution.

Once operational in 2019, Beatrice will be Scotland's largest offshore wind farm, consisting of 84 wind turbines and powering 450 000 homes. The project is a joint venture partnership between SSE Renewables, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and SDIC Power.

Global capacity for renewable energy sources is steadily increasing.

Each year, billions of dollars are invested in renewables globally. Increasing investments in renewable energy capacity, as well as initiatives such as the Renewables Obligation in the UK, encourages generation of electricity from renewable sources all over the world.

Learn more about some of the main sources of renewable energy, below.

WIND

Wind on onshore and offshore wind farms, pushes windmill blades around in a circle, powering kinetic energy into mechanical power.

SOLAR

Solar energy involves capturing energy from the sun using solar panels and generating electricity with the captured energy.

HYDRO

Hydro-electricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity. This is often achieved using turbines and generators.

GEOTHERMAL

Geothermal power is generated from steam and water stored in the Earth. These drive turbines linked to electricity generators.
