The Caledonia offshore wind farm, a proposed project with a target 2GW capacity being developed in the Moray Firth, is holding a series of public consultation events for its Offshore Scoping Report.

Submitted to Marine Scotland in October this year, the report outlines the technologies under consideration for the development. It also details the work that will be undertaken for the Environmental Impact Assessment which will support the planning application for the project, expected to be made in 2024.

Consultation events will be held in early November to gather feedback on proposals from the coastal communities nearest the project. These include:

● Wick (Mackays Hotel - Monday 7 November, 12-8pm),
● Fraserburgh (Leisure Centre - Wednesday 9 November, 12-8pm)
● and Buckie (Victoria Park Lounges - Thursday 10 November, 12-8pm).
● A virtual consultation is also available to those unable to attend the events.

Caledonia Project Director, Mark Baxter commented: “The submission of the scoping report marks an important early milestone for the Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm. As the first major public document submitted for the project, these consultation events provide a great opportunity for local people to share their thoughts and help shape the early development of the wind farm.

“Ocean Winds has extensive knowledge, experience and relationships in the Moray Firth, and we look forward to engaging with the individuals, organisations and communities who have an interest in the project.”

Ocean Winds (OW), a 50:50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, is developing the wind farm targeting a capacity of 2 GW. The 429km2 site was secured in the ScotWind leasing round (NE4) back in January. Water depths are in the order of 50m, and the site is expected to be developed using proven fixed-bottom foundations. Once fully commissioned (expected in 2030), it is expected to meet the average electricity needs of around two million homes.
