The application covers the elements from the landfall point near Benholm, underground cable corridor, onshore substation, and proposed connection to the planned Hurlie substation at Fetteresso Forest, where the electricity produced by the offshore wind farm enters the National Grid.

TWP submitted the application after the completion of an optioneering exercise, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and public consultations and engagement with local communities and stakeholders in North East Scotland.

The developer, a joint venture between Qair, DEME Concessions and Aspiravi, plans to file an application for the offshore part of the project, proposed to be built 44 kilometres off Stonehaven in North East Scotland, in 2026.

The construction of the Bowdun offshore wind farm, one of the ScotWind projects, is planned to begin in 2031.

The TWP joint venture recently reshuffled the project ownership for the Bowdun and 1 GW Ayre floating wind project among the joint venture partners.

In November, TWP announced that under a revised arrangement, DEME Concessions and Aspiravi will step away from Ayre and Qair will take full ownership of the floating project, while for Bodwun, DEME Concessions and Aspiravi will be the sole owners with Qair exiting the fixed-bottom project.

According to the companies, all partners remain active in TWP.
