Wind Energy – Neart na Gaoithe
The Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm (NnG) has reached another significant milestone with the completion of the installation of its final wind turbine in the early hours of this morning (Monday, 7th April 2025).
The project is expected to be fully operational this summer, following the completion of the next phase of commissioning.
NnG is located 15.5 km off the Fife coast and covers an area of approximately 105 km2. Jointly owned by EDF Renewables UK & Ireland and ESB, once fully commissioned, the 54 turbine offshore wind farm will have a capacity of c.450MW – supplying enough low carbon electricity for around 375,000 homes and offsetting 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
