Red Rock, ESB to jointly develop the 1000 MW Inch Cape offshore wind project in Scotland
The Red Rock Power – ESB partnership will harness both companies’ wealth of expertise within the wind energy sector and support their mutual growth ambitions as they continue to strengthen their respective UK wind portfolios, with the potential to collaborate on other projects in the future.
The project will consist of up to 72 turbines, with a total capacity of 1GW. The wind farm will connect to the national grid at Cockenzie in East Lothian, and expected to generate enough energy to supply for about 700,000 homes.
The project recently received approval to increase its capacity to up to one gigawatt having already secured both onshore and offshore consents in 2019.
