Foundation Installation Start

Muir Mhòr Offshore Wind Farm Ltd plans to begin floating-foundation installation works at the start of the offshore construction phase in 2029. The Offshore Transmission Infrastructure (OfTI) Marine Licence application states that construction is expected to start in 2029 over a four-year phase to 2032, ahead of operations targeted for the early 2030s. As a floating offshore wind project in ScotWind lease area E2 with up to 67 floating wind turbines, foundation installation (anchor and mooring deployment plus tow-out of floating foundations from a marshalling port) is the first major offshore construction activity in the schedule and is therefore scoped to the 2029 construction commencement. Year precision reflects that the developer's filings give 2029 as the construction start year without a more specific month.
