Vestas has signed a conditional order agreement with Inch Cape Offshore Ltd., an equal joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables, for the 1.1 GW Inch Cape project in Scotland.
The agreement is for the supply, installation and commissioning of 72 V236-15.0 MW wind turbines for the project. The scope of the service contract includes a long-term comprehensive service agreement followed by an operational support agreement.
“We are very pleased to have signed this agreement for a pivotal project for Scotland’s offshore wind industry, and our team is genuinely excited to contribute to this milestone together with ESB and Red Rock Renewables,” says Nils de Baar, president of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.
“Inch Cape will have a significant impact on the U.K.’s sustainable energy future, and we are proud to stand at the forefront of this transition. Our thanks go to our partners at ESB and Red Rock Renewables for their trust and excellent collaboration.”
The project site is located in the Scottish North Sea, 15 kilometers off the Angus coast, with the installation harbor based in the Port of Dundee.
According to the current state of planning, wind turbine installation is programed to begin in 2026, and the wind farm is expected to be fully operational in 2027.
