‘Landmark point’: First foundation in place on Scotland’s giant Seagreen windfarm

A “major milestone” has been reached with the first foundation being installed at Seagreen, the largest offshore windfarm in Scotland.

A pair of 2,000-tonne jackets have been fixed at the site, 16miles off the Angus coast, marking the start of work on the 1.1GW project (for scale, the UK currently has around 10GW of offshore wind capacity).

Seagreen is a £3billion joint venture project between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies, with SSE leading construction, development and will ultimately operate the windfarm upon completion.
