SSE Renewables has identified an increase in the potential capacity of the proposed Ossian floating offshore wind plant off the East Coast of Scotland (United Kingdom) from 2.6 GW to 3.6 GW after the competition of a full geophysical area and benthic survey of the project area. The power plant is developed by a consortium of SSE Renewables, the Japanese conglomerate Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni) and the Danish fund management company Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).
The project is set to be located across 858 km2 of seabed in waters off the east coast of Scotland. The deployment of floating offshore wind turbines delivering up to 3.6 GW of new installed capacity could power almost 6 million Scottish homes and offsetting around 7.5 MtCO2/year of CO2 emissions.
