The partners behind the proposed 3600MW Ossian Floating Offshore Wind Farm (Ossian) have submitted the project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report to Marine Scotland.
The scoping report outlines the key technologies currently under consideration for the project.
Ossian is located approximately 80km south-east of the Aberdeenshire coast and is the largest floating offshore wind project in development worldwide.
The scoping report submission marks the first formal submission in the EIA process and aims to agree the key focus areas that will be considered within the EIA.
Marine Scotland has now circulated the scoping report and have commenced the formal consultation process.
