SSE Renewables and its partner TotalEnergies has announced first power generation from the Seagreen offshore wind farm, 27km off the coast of Angus in Scotland.
The first Vestas turbine of a total of 114 was commissioned and connected to the grid on August 22. The 1,075MW wind farm is expected to be fully operational in the first half of 2023. When fully operational, the site will produce around 5 terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable electricity per year.
