With an anticipated capacity of close to 1GW and a connection date of 2033, the project would have up to 70 turbines and offers the potential to power more than one million homes.
Its development would see more than £900 million invested in Scotland’s manufacturing sector and supply chain, with around 2,900 jobs in Scotland at the peak of construction and close to 300 ongoing jobs during operation.
Submission of our offshore consent application is a critical milestone in unlocking the significant inward investment this ambitious project will bring, and we would encourage everyone with an interest in the project to view and comment on our application.
