Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm
At almost 1.1 gigawatts, the project is one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm projects and set to play a significant role in support of the Scottish and wider UK’s offshore wind targets.
Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, currently progressing towards full construction, will feature up to 72 turbines sited 15 kilometres off the Angus Coast in the North Sea. The power it generates will be transported 85 kilometres to a new substation at Cockenzie, in East Lothian from where it will enter the national transmission system.
The project will make a significant contribution towards the UK’s offshore wind ambitions and will generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of more than half the homes in Scotland.*
