Deep Energy

Deep Energy is the commercial entity operating the offshore wind farm in Weymouth Bay — a project that has become the immediate trigger for the H-Cell Chronicle's crisis. The company's financial backers are opaque: Hex identifies a consortium of green energy and sovereign funds, but neither he nor PISCES has been able to trace the ultimate source of the funding, which appears disproportionately deep. A legal dispute between Deep Energy and subcontractor Jones Engineering over substandard concrete footings provides a route to survey data for the seabed location — suggesting the specific turbine footing placement that disturbed the anchor was not adequately engineered. Commercial fishermen are openly hostile to the project, reporting exclusion zone restrictions and collapsing catches of misshapen, sickly fish.
