Mainstream Renewable Power has announced the submission of its application for Offshore Consent to Marine Scotland Licensing Operations Team (MS-LOT) for its 450MW Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) offshore wind project in Scottish territorial waters.
The application, which is now open to consultation until Monday 10 September, is a step towards delivering the project into offshore construction in 2015. The application for this development follows a three-year process of detailed stakeholder consultation and is for a development consisting of 64-125 wind turbines. NnG is planned to occupy an area of approximately 105 square km on a site that, at its closest point to land, lies 15 kilometres off the Fife coast and in water depths of 45-55 metres. The wind farm will deliver 450MW. Mainstream aims to reach financial close in 2013 and be fully operational by the end of 2016. The development represents an investment of GBP 1.4 billion.
