On 24 March 2023, Crown Estate Scotland announced that a Harbour Energy subsidiary covering the Britannia platform had been awarded an exclusivity agreement under the Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing round, with an option fee of GBP 405,000. Britannia INTOG is a ~15 MW floating offshore wind project designed to supply renewable electricity directly to the Britannia oil and gas platform in the UK Central North Sea, partnering with Harbour's other 15 MW INTOG award (Judy) to decarbonise platform operations. INTOG was the world's first leasing round designed to enable offshore wind to directly supply offshore oil and gas infrastructure.
