Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm, developed by Ocean Winds, is a proposed 2 GW ScotWind facility in the Moray Firth. It has completed its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and has formally started the process of submitting applications for planning consent.
The project's first consent application is for the onshore transmission works, including the substation and underground cables. This application has been submitted to Aberdeenshire Council, which has started its formal public consultation. Consultation on the application for the offshore works, including turbines, offshore substations, and offshore transmission cables, is expected to be opened by Marine Scotland in the coming weeks.
Caledonia will be Ocean Winds' third development in the Moray Firth, joining Moray East, which came online in 2020, and Moray West, which achieved first power in July this year. The 2 GW facility will double offshore wind generation in the Moray Firth.
