Natixis has acted as sole green loan coordinator for the GBP380 million (US$472.4 million) financing for Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios S.A. of Kincardine Offshore Windfarm Limited. The project comprises the construction of a 50 MW floating offshore wind farm, located south-east of Aberdeen, Scotland, which will be the largest floating offshore wind farm in the world when completed.

Kincardine will consist of six turbines (one 2 MW and five 9.5 MW, all supplied by MHI Vestas) installed on semi-submersible floating structures designed by Principle Power located in water depths ranging between 60-80 meters. The project is expected to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2020.
