ScottishPower Renewables’ timeline for the MachairWind offshore wind farm indicates that the project is planned to export its first power in the early 2030s, marking initial energisation of the 2 GW fixed-bottom wind farm located northwest of Islay and west of Colonsay. This first export milestone will occur after construction in the late 2020s and will initiate the project’s operational phase and power exports to the Scottish grid.
