ScottishPower, Shell sign option agreements for 5 GW of floating wind in Scottish waters

ScottishPower and Shell have signed option to lease agreements with Crown Estate Scotland – reserving the seabed rights for their MarramWind and CampionWind floating offshore wind farms.

Destined to be among the first commercial-scale floating offshore windfarms anywhere in the world, MarramWind (3 GW) and CampionWind (2 GW) – off the east and north-east coasts of Scotland – will have the potential to power up to six million homes.

The signing of the agreements marks an important step towards delivering the ScotWind projects and a clean energy future.
