Salamander signs exclusivity agreement with Crown Estate Scotland for 100 MW Salamander floating offshore wind project

Salamander, a partnership formed by Ørsted, Simply Blue Group, and Subsea7, has secured an exclusivity agreement with Crown Estate Scotland as part of the Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) leasing phase.

The Exclusivity Agreement allows the start of the offshore wind development work while Marine Scotland’s planning process for the INTOG Sectoral Marine Plan (INTOG SMP) is completed.

The Salamander floating offshore wind project will be located 35 km off the coast of Peterhead. The INTOG round was divided into two pots: one for small-scale innovation projects of 100 MW or less, and another for larger initiatives related to oil and gas infrastructure. Salamander was successful on the path to innovation.
