Marine Scotland issued its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) determination for the Salamander Offshore Wind Farm on 24 July 2025. This is recorded on the Marine Scotland project page as an “EIA Public Notice of Determination – Construction and Operation of Generating Station and Offshore Transmission Infrastructure – Salamander Offshore Wind Farm – 00010807 & Section 36 Consent,” with the document dated 2025-07-24. The determination relates to both the generating station and associated offshore transmission infrastructure and is linked to Marine Licence application 00010807 and the Section 36 consent process for the project.[1] This EIA determination follows submission of a comprehensive suite of Offshore Environmental Impact Assessment Report volumes and associated EIA application documents for Salamander, which were lodged with Marine Scotland in April and May 2024.[1] The 24 July 2025 date aligns with a cluster of other regulatory outputs listed for the same project, including derogation case, Marine Protected Area and Habitat Regulations assessments, a submission to ministers, and the Marine Licence decision notice, all dated 2025-07-24, indicating a coordinated package of environmental and consent decisions issued on that day.[1] Through this determination, Marine Scotland, acting as the competent authority, completed its formal EIA decision for the Salamander Offshore Wind Farm and its offshore transmission infrastructure, in parallel with the Section 36 consent and marine licensing routes identified on the same project page.[1]
