What's happening where?
We have 892MW of operational offshore wind including the world's first floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Scotland, 4.9GW of consented projects and a further 4.4GW in the pipeline. Two of the largest offshore wind projects in the world, the 950MW Moray East project and the 1,075MW Seagreen project, are under construction and Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm, which at 50MW is the largest floating wind array in the world is now operational. The outcome of our latest offshore wind leasing round, ScotWind 1, was announced in January 2022 and the 17 new sites will now add a further 25GW to the Scottish market, 15GW of which will be floating wind.
