Fred Olsen Renewables is progressing with the construction of the 50MW Crystal Rig 4 wind farm in Scotland.
The 11-turbine site is located south of Dunbar in East Lothian and north-west of Duns in the Scottish Borders.
Consented by the Scottish government in 2021, the project is on track to commence generation in early 2026.
The scheme will provide over £8m to the communities of East Lothian and the Scottish Borders over its lifetime.
Main contractor RJ McLeod will install the site and local contractors will be prioritised where possible throughout the procurement process.
This will be the first Fred Olsen Renewables’ wind farm in Scotland to use Vestas turbines.
Fred Olsen Renewables chief executive Sofie Jebsen said: “Bringing Crystal Rig 4 into construction is a strategic step forward for Fred Olsen Renewables.
“We are delighted to be celebrating this key milestone.
“It also demonstrates our continued commitment to Scotland’s renewable ambitions and the wider UK’s net zero journey.
“Fred Olsen Renewables is committed to working closely with the local community and stakeholders throughout the construction of Crystal Rig 4, helping to minimise disruption and helping them to maximise the benefits that the project will bring.
“I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to the success of the project so far.”
