Inch Cape Offshore Limited, the developer of the 1,080 MW Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, has been awarded a contract for difference (CfD) in the UK Government’s latest allocation round (AR6).
The wind farm will be located in the North Sea, 15 kilometres off the Angus coast in Scotland, and will consist of 72 wind turbines. It will connect to the national grid via an 85-kilometre offshore cable route and through an onshore substation currently under construction at Cockenzie in East Lothian. The AR6 award of 266 MW will add to the 1,080 MW already secured in the previous CfD from Allocation Round 4. Inch Cape Offshore Wind Limited is a 50/50 joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables.
