Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm

About

Founded in 2021, Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm is a private headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland specializing in Wind.

Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm is a 100 MW floating offshore wind development off Dounreay in northern Scotland. Developed by Highland Wind Limited, which is majority owned by a fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), with Hexicon AB as a minority shareholder, and backed by GB Energy, National Wealth Fund, Scottish National Investment Bank, and Eurus Energy. The project uses Stiesdal Offshore's TetraSub floating foundation technology and is designed to demonstrate floating wind viability in deeper Scottish waters where fixed-bottom turbines are unsuitable. The project is expected to provide electricity for approximately 70,000 homes annually and offset up to 125,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. Development activities are led by Copenhagen Offshore Partners from their Global Floating Wind Competence Centre in Edinburgh. The project secured a Contract for Difference in the UK Government's seventh allocation round.
