Marine Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Government, granted consent for Statoil’s 30 MW Hywind Scotland floating wind farm in October 2015, authorising the pilot park of five 6 MW turbines at Buchan Deep around 25 km off Peterhead. This marine consent/marine licence cleared the way for Statoil to proceed towards construction and Final Investment Decision for the world’s first floating offshore wind farm.
