Lerwick Port Authority and Irish utility ESB have inked an agreement to collaborate on a 500 MW offshore wind project near Shetland, Scotland.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both entities are dedicated to cooperating on port-related solutions for the construction and continuous maintenance of the project. ESB obtained seabed development rights for this wind farm in 2022, and the project is presently in its initial development phase. Anticipated outcomes include the generation of 500MW of electricity, sufficient to supply power to approximately 350,000 households in Scotland.
