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 also under construction. The next offshore wind leasing round, ScotWind, is now underway with projects to be announced in late 2021 and this should see up to a further 10GW added to the Scottish market.
Scotland is Now for offshore wind.
