Invenergy and BW Offshore plan to form a joint venture to develop up to 5.4 GW of offshore wind as part of the first ScotWind leasing round in Scotland (United Kingdom). The joint venture will focus on developing both floating and fixed foundation offshore wind projects off the Northeast Coast of Scotland.
The ScotWind leasing round is part of the Scottish government's plan to reach up to 11 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
