Cerulean Winds Submits 1 GW Aspen Offshore Wind Project In Scotland (UK)
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on enerdata.
These first two paragraphs add more details.
Floating wind developer Cerulean Winds has submitted an offshore consent application for its 1 GW Aspen floating wind project to the local authorities in Scotland (UK). The application was submitted to the Scottish Marine Directorate Licensing Operations Team and is supported by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the project. The Aspen project is comprised of 72 wind turbines to be installed 100 km off the coast in the Central North Sea to deliver 1 GW of renewable energy, expecting to start operations before 2030. The development is expected to attract a total investment of GBP11bn (€12.6bn) across a 50-year lifespan.
Cerulean Winds is partnering on the project’s delivery with NOV, Siemens Energy, Bilfinger and Ocean Installer. The company plans to develop three floating offshore wind projects in the Central North Sea (Aspen, Beech and Cedar), which are expected to be comprised of over 300 wind turbines in total.
This wind farm along with its sisters ; Beech and Cedar doesn’t appear to have been added to Wikipedia’s master list of offshore wind farms.
From a Cerulean infographic on this page, it appears that Aspen, Beech and Cedar are all 1008 MW wind farms, that are planned to be operational in 2028, starting in 2028 and starting in 2028. It would be good for the ambitions of Ed Miliband, if these three wind farms were fully operational by the end of 2030.
