A new frontier for offshore wind
This major energy project will comprise up to 70 turbines on floating foundations, manufactured here in Scotland.
Our platforms will use our partner BW Ideol’s Damping Pool® floating foundation – a proven technology ideally suited to the North Sea’s harsh environment.
The project will catalyse investment in manufacturing capacity in the north of Scotland and is projected to spend more than £900 million with Scottish suppliers up to the point of installation, creating 2,900 jobs during construction and adding more than £2 billion to the Scottish economy over its lifetime.
Over its expected 35 year operating life, the project expects to spend more than £50m a year with Scottish suppliers, supporting around 300 long-term jobs
Supply Chain
Buchan Offshore Wind will be an anchor project for the floating offshore wind sector, enabling BW Ideol to establish a nationally significant foundation manufacturing facility at the Ardersier Energy Transition Facility.
Communities
Our ambition is to play an active and impactful role within the local community, supporting programmes which promote skills, well-being, careers and resilience.
