In June 2025, Aberdeenshire Council’s Infrastructure Services Committee granted Planning Permission in Principle for the Muir Mhòr offshore wind farm onshore works, comprising underground export cabling and a new onshore substation near Peterhead to connect the project to the National Grid. This decision approved the onshore transmission infrastructure, following extensive consultation and an Environmental Impact Assessment led by LUC, enabling the Muir Mhòr project’s 1 GW of offshore generation to be connected into the GB transmission system.
