Ayre plans to begin floating foundation installation around 2030 at the start of the offshore construction phase. Qair, via Thistle Wind Partners' Ayre project page, indicates construction is anticipated to begin around 2030. As a 1,008 MW commercial-scale floating offshore wind farm in ScotWind NE2 east of Orkney with floating substructure options (semi-submersible or tension-leg) on around 40-67 next-generation turbines and offshore substation foundations within Ramboll's Pre-FEED scope, foundation installation (anchor and mooring deployment plus tow-out of floating foundations from a marshalling port) is the first major offshore construction activity in the schedule and is scoped to the 2030 construction commencement. Year precision reflects phase-level scheduling in current developer communications.
