Ukrainian company Interpipe has joined another offshore wind farm project in North Sea

The Ukrainian industrial company Interpipe has joined another project in the renewable energy sector, supplying pipes for an offshore wind farm in the North Sea off the coast of the United Kingdom.

According to the company, construction of the plant, located 69 km off the coast of Suffolk, England, is in its final stage—the installation of turbines.

As specified, Interpipe’s pipes were previously used in the construction of the foundations for the future wind turbines. The company’s products serve as a mooring system near the wind turbine foundations, where service personnel boats can dock. In total, nearly 2,500 tons of pipes of various sizes were manufactured and shipped for this project.

“The distinctive feature of the pipes for this order lies in their wall thickness and the need to adhere to geometric parameters, as well as in the requirements for the metal’s corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It is very important for us to meet the expectations of our customers and end-users,” explained Jorge Ruiz, sales manager for pipes in European markets.

The project is scheduled to launch in late 2026 – early 2027. The plant will generate at least 1.4 GWh of electricity and will be able to supply over 1.3 million households.

Interpipe is a Ukrainian industrial company and a manufacturer of steel pipes and railway products. The company’s products are supplied to 70 countries worldwide through a network of sales offices located in key markets in the Middle East, North America, and Europe. In 2025, the company contributed 5.556 billion UAH to budgets at all levels.
