Ayre targets turbine installation in 2031 as part of the phased offshore construction programme. Per Thistle Wind Partners' programme materials, Phase I is expected to be operational in 2031 with Phase II commissioning by 2033; for a 1 GW floating wind farm using tow-to-port hook-up of next-generation turbines onto previously deployed floating substructures, turbine installation typically follows foundation/mooring pre-installation by 6-18 months and precedes Phase I first power by 6-12 months, placing the turbine installation start in 2031. Year precision reflects phase-level scheduling in current developer communications.
