Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) – Scotland
End User: EDF / ESB
The Neart na Gaoithe development is an offshore wind farm project, located 15.5 km off the Fife coast of Scotland and covers an area of approximately 105 km². The total investment for the NNG offshore wind project is around £2 billion.
NnG has the potential to generate 450 MW of renewable energy, which is enough power to supply around 375,000 Scottish homes – and will offset over 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
The wind farm will have a maximum of 54 turbines with the first turbines planned to be operational in mid-2023. Completion of the entire wind farm is scheduled for 2024. The planned operational life of the windfarm and Offshore Transmission works (OFTO) will be 25 years.
