Scotwind - Scottish Offshore Wind

 Overview

In January 2022, Northland Power were awarded the rights to develop areas N2 and N4 in the Scottish Waters.

The selected sites offer a mixture of water depths, allowing for both fixed (N4) and floating (N2) foundation technologies (no hybrid sites). Both sites benefit from some of the best wind resources in Europe, providing above average net capacity factors but also challenging metocean conditions.

Northland Power's Scottish activities are based out of our Glasgow office. Northland Power are member of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (OREC) Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence, DeepWind Cluster, Forth and Tay Cluster, Scottish Renewables and Renewable UK
