First turbine installed at 1.1 GW Offshore wind farm in Scotland
SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies have announced the successful installation of the first Vestas V164-10.0 MW turbine at a 1.1 GW Seagreen offshore wind farm.
Seagreen is Scotland’s largest renewable energy project and the world’s deepest, fixed-bottom offshore wind farm. Once completed, the 1.1GW Seagreen offshore wind farm will be capable of generating around 5,000 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power more than 1.6 million UK homes. The project will save around 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
Located around 27km off the Angus coast, the GBP 3 billion (USD3.79 billion) wind farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables (49%) and TotalEnergies (51%). The first power is expected by early 2022 with the offshore wind farm planned to enter commercial operation in 2023.
