Bowdun targets turbine installation in 2032, between jacket foundation installation in 2031 and first power in 2032, within the offshore construction window running 2031-2033 per Thistle Wind Partners' publicly stated programme. For a 1,008 MW fixed-bottom project with up to around 70 turbines deployed in water depths up to 70 m, turbine installation (component shipment to a marshalling port, jack-up vessel lift, blade install and energisation) typically follows foundation pre-installation by 6-18 months and precedes first power by 6-12 months. Year precision reflects phase-level scheduling in current developer communications.
