The 450 MW Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm, jointly owned by EDF Renewables UK & Ireland and ESB and located about 15.5 km off the Fife coast, exported electricity to the UK grid for the first time in October 2024, marking initial power generation from its Siemens Gamesa 8 MW turbines. This first power milestone signalled the transition from construction and commissioning towards full operation, with the project expected to be fully commissioned in 2025.
