Harnessing our combined experience and capability to develop and deliver one of the world’s largest floating offshore wind farms
Maximise the output of clean, green renewable power while respecting the local and regional environment
Actively engaging with and gathering the views of other users of the marine environment and local and national stakeholders
Building with the Scottish supply chain and supporting organisations such as Scottish Offshore Wind Ports Alliance, as well as signing the SOWEC Collaborative Framework Charter.
Committing to the local manufacture of our concrete foundations in order to maximise local content and Scottish jobs
Committed to implementing a ‘Safe by Design’ policy throughout the duration of the project and deploying technology that will safely drive down the cost of energy from floating wind.
Buchan Offshore Wind
Located 75 km northeast of Fraserburgh on the Aberdeenshire Coast with a capacity of around 1GW, NE8 represents a new frontier for offshore wind in Scotland.
It will put Scotland at the forefront of floating wind and bring significant benefits for Scotland’s supply chain, skills and employment opportunities. Our commitment to build the project’s unique concrete floating barges in Scotland will create Scottish manufacturing jobs to deliver the project.
Buchan Offshore Wind will be advertising its contracting and collaboration opportunities on the North Sea Transition Authority’s Energy Pathfinder portal.
In the coming months we will continue engagement with stakeholders, step up environmental surveys and progress further work on design as we advance our detailed proposals for the project.
