In January 2023, Flotation Energy and Vargronn submitted an offshore consent application for the Green Volt Floating Offshore Windfarm to the Scottish Government Marine Directorate, seeking Section 36 consent and a Marine Licence for a floating wind farm of up to 560 MW east of the Aberdeenshire coast. The application covered the offshore generating station, offshore substation platform, inter-array cables, and export cables to landfall near St Fergus South, north of Peterhead. A separate onshore planning application for the transmission cable route and onshore substation was submitted to Aberdeenshire Council in August 2023.
