INTOG | Marine licence sought for Scotland offshore wind farm

INTOG

With a nominal capacity of up to 1,350 MW, Cenos is a pioneering floating offshore wind project that will provide renewable power to the UK grid and to offshore oil and gas platforms in the UK North Sea, 190km from the coastline near Peterhead. The project comprises up to 95 floating turbine units, each with a maximum height of 320m.

Delivered as part of Crown Estate Scotland’s Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) leasing round, once complete, Cenos will be one of the world’s largest floating offshore windfarms, expanding on the renewable energy produced by the joint venture’s Green Volt project.

The Cenos Offshore Windfarm project has applied to the Scottish Ministers for:

  • Consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989
  • Declaration under section 36A of the Electricity Act 1989
  • Marine licences under section 20 of the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 and section 65 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009

The applications involve the offshore elements of the project proposals to construct and operate the floating offshore windfarm, along with the associated offshore transmission assets.

Vargronn and Flotation Energy have sought a marine licence for the construction of the 1.35 GW Cenos floating wind farm in Scotland.
