Thistle Wind Partners submits offshore consent application for Bowdun


Thistle Wind Partners has submitted an offshore consent application for the Bowdun Offshore Wind Farm to the Scottish Government.

The application has been lodged with the Marine Directorate and covers the proposed fixed-bottom project off the Aberdeenshire coast in north-east Scotland.

Bowdun has a planned capacity of up to 1 GW and is expected to generate enough electricity to supply the equivalent of more than 1.2 million homes once operational.

Both the offshore and onshore elements of the project are now under determination. The onshore infrastructure application was submitted to Aberdeenshire Council in November 2025.

Thistle Wind Partners said the project is expected to support more than 700 jobs in Scotland during construction, with around 60 long-term roles linked to future operations and maintenance.
