In November 2025, variation applications were submitted to Marine Scotland to modify the existing consents for the Green Volt Offshore Windfarm. The Marine Scotland project page for Green Volt shows that two Marine Licence Variation Applications were lodged on 17 November 2025: one covering the offshore transmission infrastructure (licence reference 00011498) and another covering the generating station (licence reference 00011497). These are listed in the application stage table as “Marine Licence Variation Application – Green Volt Offshore Windfarm – Offshore Transmission Infrastructure – East of Aberdeenshire Coast” and “Marine Licence Variation Application – Green Volt Offshore Windfarm – Generating Station – East of Aberdeenshire Coast,” both categorised as applications with submission dates of 2025-11-17. Shortly afterwards, a “Section 36 Variation Application – Green Volt Offshore Windfarm – East of Aberdeenshire Coast” was also submitted, with the Marine Scotland page recording a submission date of 25 November 2025. Together, these filings indicate a coordinated move to vary both the Section 36 consent and the associated marine licences that were originally granted for the project in earlier determinations. All three submissions appear under Marine Scotland’s Green Volt Offshore Windfarm application documentation, confirming that the consent variation process for the project-wide development consent and marine licences was actively underway in November 2025.
