Inch Cape Offshore Limited, the joint venture between Red Rock Power Limited (RRPL) and ESB, has appointed Vestas as the preferred wind turbine supplier for the 1.1 GW Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm.

The project will feature 72 V236-15.0 MW turbines, and the agreement also includes a 15-year Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract.

A spokesperson for the Inch Cape Wind Farm said, “This is another important step in the development of the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, which will be Scotland’s largest single source of renewable power when commissioned. Vestas brings a wealth of international experience and we look forward to working with the team to deliver this significant project.”

Inch Cape Offshore Limited secured a Contract for Difference in the UK’s fourth CfD allocation round, which concluded on 07 July 2022, and recently announced the Renewables Hub at the Port of Dundee as its intended pre-assembly site and the Port of Montrose as the project’s O&M base.
