Buchan Offshore Wind has appointed Kent as Owner's Engineer for its nearly 1 GW floating offshore wind project off the north-east coast of Scotland.

Supported by their Scotland based team, Kent will provide technical and delivery expertise throughout the project's next phase. Specialist support will also be provided by Vekta Group and New Power Partners, strengthening the project.

Located about 75 kilometres north-east of Fraserburgh, the project is expected to generate enough electricity to power over one million homes. The project aims to support Scotland's floating offshore wind industry, including the manufacturing of the country's first concrete floating foundations.

This progress follows recent approval from Aberdeenshire Council regarding the project's onshore electrical infrastructure, while the Scottish Governments decision on offshore consent is expected by the end of 2026.

Technical and Engineering Director Brian Horne said, “Kent brings strong offshore wind experience, deep offshore engineering heritage, and a highly capable integrated team, including Vekta Group and NPP.”
