The world’s largest floating windfarm is now fully commissioned and delivering renewable electricity to Scotland’s grid.

The 50 MW Kincardine Offshore Windfarm is located 15 km off the coast of Aberdeenshire, in water depths ranging from 60 m to 80 m. The project consists of five Vestas V164-9.5 MW and one V80-2 MW turbine, each installed on WindFloat semi-submersible platforms designed by Principle Power. Cobra Group subsidiary Cobra Wind has been responsible for the delivery of the project, including engineering, construction, installation and commissioning.

The facility features the highest capacity wind turbines, each with a blade tip height of 190 m, ever installed on floating platforms. Kincardine will generate over 200 GWh of green electricity annually, enough renewable electricity to power more than 50,000 Scottish households.
