The onshore planning application for the Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm has now been submitted to the Highland Council.
Located 7.5km off the coast of Dounreay in Caithness, the development will be capable of providing clean energy to approximately 70,000 homes - equivalent to 64% of those in the Highland Council area - and when complete will be the biggest of its kind in the world.
Following public consultation, very few changes were made to the application for Planning Permission in Principle, which covers the project’s onshore infrastructure elements and includes the onshore application boundary, an Environmental Impact Assessment and visualisations of indicative substation locations.
