LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's energy regulator Ofgem on Tuesday picked Diamond Transmission Partners (DTP) as preferred bidder to own and operate the 180.6 million pound ($235 million) transmission link to the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm offshore Liverpool.
Ofgem chose DTP, a consortium of Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation [MITSBQ.UL] and HICL Infrastructure Company Limited (L:HICL), following a competitive tender process, it said in a statement.
The 258 megawatt Burbo Bank Extension wind farm consists of 32 turbines. A consortium of DONG Energy (CO:DENERG), Kirkbi and PKA currently owns the transmission assets for the project.
