Kincardine Offshore Windfarm Limited (KOWL) and Flotation Energy welcomed members from the Scottish Affairs Select Committee on Tuesday, 26 November, as part of the Committee’s fact-finding mission into energy companies in the north-east.

The 50 MW floating Kincardine offshore wind farm, owned by Dragados, is located 15km off the coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It became fully operational in 2021 and provides green electricity to the UK grid.

The visit was an opportunity for the 10 MPs to learn about the achievements of KOWL in renewable energy and the wind farm’s contribution to Scotland’s green transition. The Committee heard about KOWL developing and implementing a new technology at the wind farm recently, which allows major repairs to be carried out in situ. Applying this new process eliminates the need for tow-to-port operations.

The group also met with Flotation Energy representatives, who, along with joint venture partner, Vårgrønn, are building the 560 MW Green Volt Development off the Scottish East Coast.
