The manufacturer of the turbines and blades for what will be Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm has confirmed that 87% of the blades are set for production in the UK. Of the 114 V164 blade sets required for the 1075 MW Seagreen project, Vestas will produce 99 blade sets (or 297 blades in total) domestically, ready for installation off the Angus coast by the end of 2022. Production by Vestas is currently underway at its blade factory and R&D centre in Newport on the Isle of Wight. The Seagreen project is a £3bn joint venture project between TotalEnergies (51%) and SSE Renewables (49%).
