The wind measurement campaign was part of a package including a twelve-month metocean campaign, which gathered millions of data points relating to wave heights, currents, tides, and sediment movements. The metocean data is also used to predict conditions during the construction and deployment of the wind farm.
The Ossian floating offshore wind farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Marubeni, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).
Delivery of the wind farm will be subject to securing planning consent, route to market, and a final investment decision. Once operational, the project would have a capacity of up to 3.6 GW, which is enough to be capable of powering up to six million homes annually.
