ForthWind Offshore Wind Demonstration Project - phase 1 Offshore Wind Farm

14 Mar 2023: On 29 April 2022, Forthwind Limited submitted to the Scottish Ministers an application for a marine licence and consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. The Works comprises the construction of an offshore energy generating station, with a maximum generating capacity of 20 megawatts (“MW”) of electricity. The offshore generating station shall comprise: 1. A single three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine generator (“WTG”) with: a) A maximum hub height of 156 metres (“m”) above highest astronomical tide (“HAT”); b) A maximum height to blade tip of up to 280m above HAT; c) A maximum rotor diameter of 255m; d) A minimum blade tip clearance of 25m above HAT; e) A blade width of up to 5.8m; 2. A meteorological mast (“metmast”) with a height of 160m above HAT; 3. Foundation for the WTG (either a jacket with a maximum of 4 pin piles or a monopile); 4. Foundation for the metmast (monopile); 5. Approximately 625m of communications cable between the turbine and the metmast; 6. Approximately 625m of power cable between the turbine and the metmast; 7. A subsea export cable running from the turbine to shore, approximately 1.5km; and 8. Scour and cable protection In March 2023 Scottish Ministers decided to grant regulatory approval for the Works detailed above, in accordance with regulation 23 of the 2017 MW regulations
