Bridgit Hartland-Johnson

Ørsted

Responsible for developing and delivering technology or route to market solutions that help to better integrate offshore wind major capital projects. 

Solutions aimed at either mitigating revenue impacts or improving increasingly complex interactions with the grid. 

Projects include: 
⚡️First of a kind: 300MW/600MWh BESS project (ICENI/OTNR project Boudicca), sharing the connection infrastructure with the worlds biggest single-connection offshore wind farm (Hornsea 3). Development through to FID
⚡️First of a kind: Early development of an Offshore Integrated Energy Hub (Project NEOS/Elan). Directly connecting an offshore wind farm to a neighboring gas production facility (to remove scope 1 emissions) and to power a carbon storage facility.
⚡️Route to market for a non-GB offshore wind generator to connect to the GB grid. Exploring options to connect to 2 markets (GB and Ireland), and to fully integrate to an onshore Energy Park/AI Growth Zone. As well as the conventional I.e radial/CfD
⚡️First of a kind: Early development of a LDES (using Liquid Air Energy Storage/LAES)) project, integrated onshore to and offshore wind farm. Using the project to provide live input into the design of the UK Govt’s LDES Cap & Floor scheme.

Chief Specialist/Director. Project Development System Integration

I had the exciting responsibility to see how we can use innovation to drive business case levers and improve grid interaction across our UK project development portfolio. This means having the opportunity to play around with energy storage, hydrogen, interconnectors and new routes to market such as platform electrification. I also get to investigate everything such as technical feasibility, commercial opportunities and whether the routes to market exist or whether we need to make them through regulatory change.

Projects included:

⚡️Project development manager: Orsted EBI / Project Boudica, Feasibility for large scale BESS to be co-located at the Hornsea3 Offshore Wind Farm Onshore Substation.
⚡️Project Manager: Project Neos, NSTA funded feasibility study of decarbonising a gas platform located in the Southern North Sea using electricity provided by a direct connection to an Offshore Windfarm in close proximity.
⚡️Project Manager: OTNR Infrastructure Coordination for Hornsea4 Offshore Windfarm and National Grid Ventures Continental Link.
⚡️Commercial Project Manager: Gigastack FEED, responsible for enabling the future connection of Gigastack to the Hornsea2 Offshore Windfarm Onshore Substation.
