The pre-commercial-size floating wind farm will be located 35 kilometres off the coast of Peterhead in North-East Scotland and is planned to deploy innovative floating offshore wind technologies to support the cost reduction and learning journey needed for the commercial deployment of floating offshore wind.

The MOU with Tugdock brings in the Cornwall-based company’s technology into the mix, which enables floating wind foundations to be built or assembled, and the turbines integrated, in ports that have water depth or space restrictions.
