Description: Buchan Offshore Wind is a major floating wind project sited off the northeast coast of Scotland.
The partnership secured the right to develop the NE8 area in the ScotWind leasing round, which concluded in early 2022.
The partners are BayWa r.e., a global renewable energy business with UK offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh; Elicio, an experienced Belgian offshore wind developer, owner and operator; and BW Ideol, a proven floating technology leader and international floating wind project co-developer.
The alliance brings together three companies with highly significant, relevant and complementary expertise, which has the potential to accelerate the development of floating wind and bring significant levels of employment to Scotland through its commitment to local manufacturing of the wind turbines’ concrete foundations.
