Scottish Ministers approved a variation to Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm, reducing turbines, maintaining 100MW capacity, and extending up to 25 years of operation.

Scottish Ministers have approved a variation application to refine the Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm's offshore consents, reducing the number of turbines and deploying them within a smaller area while maintaining 100MW capacity. The wind farm, located 7.5 km off Dounreay, Caithness, will generate enough green energy for up to 70,000 homes and have an operational lifespan of up to 25 years. This marks a milestone for the project and the floating offshore wind sector in Scotland and the UK.
