Home About the Project News FAQs Publications Have Your Say Suppliers About the Company Contact Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm New Energy for Scotland Inch Cape Offshore Limited (ICOL) received consent in October 2014 to develop the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm and associated offshore transmission works. The wind farm, in the North Sea around 15 km off the Angus coastline, will cover an area of approximately 150 km2 and will consist of up to 110 turbines. ICOL, a joint venture company formed by Repsol Nuevas Energías UK Limited and EDP Renewables UK Limited, is keen to build upon the strong offshore engineering expertise that Scotland possesses as well as an abundant wind resource to create secure, low-carbon energy from a renewable source. It is expected that the project will have a capacity of around 784 MW and yield over 2,000 GWh per year. This is equivalent to powering around 500,000 homes, or more than a fifth of all the homes in Scotland (2.37 million). The project will bring benefits through reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, energy supply and security, and economic benefits from job creation and infrastructure development through the project life.

Home About the Project News FAQs Publications Have Your Say Suppliers About the Company Contact Home About the Project About the Project The proposed Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm is located approximately 15 km to the east of the Angus coastline in Scotland. It is anticipated it will consist of up to 110 turbines which will be secured to the seabed within an area covering approximately 150 km². Once fully operational the Offshore Wind Farm will have an export capacity of approximately 784 MW and a potential yield of over 2,000 GWh per year. A network of low voltage electricity cables will be required to connect the wind turbines to offshore substation platforms. Up to five of these platforms will be required to collect the electricity generated by the wind turbines and convert the electricity to be exported to the national grid. A lease agreement with The Crown Estate is required and will last for 50 years. The electricity cables will be brought ashore at Cockenzie, in East Lothian, where a short section of underground cables will take the power to an onshore substation for conversion to national grid voltage. A further run of cables will lead to the grid connection point at the existing Cockenzie power station substation. Project News Sign up for news updates Sign up Repsol © 2015.
