Ocean Winds has announced that it has secured Scottish Government consent for the Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm.

This milestone allows the company to continue developing the ScotWind project, having passed a major regulatory hurdle. Once completed, the project is expected to generate 2 GW of energy, enough to power 2 million homes.

The project is being developed as part of Crown Estate Scotland’s ScotWind leasing round, which aims to support almost 30 GW of new capacity over the next decade and help Scotland reach its net-zero targets.

Mark Baxter, Caledonia Project Director, said: “This is the culmination of years of hard work by our Caledonia team. We would also like to thank the many stakeholders and communities that have engaged constructively with the project throughout the consenting process.”

Adam Morrison, U.K. Country Manager for Ocean Winds, said: “Despite this positive step forward for Scotland’s offshore wind sector, uncertainty in market signals, namely transmission charges, remains a critical factor in determining whether projects like Caledonia can proceed to FID as planned.”
