Cobra and Flotation Energy have revealed they are jointly bidding for up to 7GW across several sites in the ScotWind leasing round.
The bids, for projects up to 1.5GW in size each, have been submitted through Offshore Wind, their joint venture company.
The successful projects will be announced by Crown Estate Scotland in January 2022.
The joint venture has also confirmed that it is to partner in Scotwind with Aberdeen-headquartered consultancy Wood, and also with Royal HaskoningDHV, an international environmental and consenting consultancy.
A spokesperson for Offshore Wind Ltd said: “These bids bring together a partnership which has very significant expertise in delivering major projects in the Scottish North Sea.
“We are very pleased to be working with both Wood and Haskoning, building on the strong success that we have already had this year, winning our Round 4 Morecambe project from The Crown Estate.
“We have already completed the Kincardine windfarm situated 10 miles off the Aberdeenshire coast.
“This has given us invaluable experience of delivering a major renewable energy project in the challenging environment of the North Sea. Now we are determined to do more.”
Cobra director Jose Antonio Fernnndez said: “Cobra has delivered the largest floating wind farm in the world right here in Scotland and together with our partners Flotation Energy, we have built on this success by securing rights to our Morecambe project in the recent UK Round 4 auction as well as securing the rights to our 100MW White Cross floating project off Devon and Cornwall.
“With our ScotWind projects we are determined to stay at the forefront of the offshore wind sector, delivering green jobs and green power in Scotland for the generations ahead.”
Flotation Energy’s chief executive Lord Nicol Stephen said: ‘Building on the success of the Kincardine floating windfarm, our partnership is now in a unique position to deliver successful large-scale Scottish offshore wind projects. Scotland has some of the very best offshore wind opportunities in the world.
“Our experience gives us the opportunity to help shape the Scottish offshore wind industry for decades ahead and to make a major contribution to Scotland’s 2045 net zero target.”
