The BlueFloat Energy and Renantis partnership has signed exclusivity agreements with Crown Estate Scotland to develop its Sinclair and Scaraben innovation projects following successful bidding in the recent Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing round.
The two 99.5MW floating offshore wind farms will now be developed as part of a phased delivery of the Partnership’s Broadshore project, located 47 km north of Fraserburgh. Sinclair and Scaraben will explore innovative foundation technologies, associated fabrication works and mooring systems. A key element of the bid proposals is the opportunity to test and adapt a community ownership model, governed independently, and directed by the communities in which the schemes will operate.
