Wind Energy – Ayre OWF
The developer behind Ayre Offshore Wind Farm – one of Scotland’s flagship offshore wind projects – has submitted its offshore consent application to the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate.
Ayre Offshore Wind Farm is being developed by owner Qair – a market leader in floating wind innovation which is currently completing the construction of the Eolmed floating wind farm in France. Ayre reinforces Qair’s long-term commitment to supporting Scotland’s renewable energy goals.
Ayre is located to the east of Orkney and once operational, will contribute 1GW of renewable energy to the national grid – enough to power the equivalent of more than 1.2 million households.
The submission for offshore consent comes just three months after the application for Ayre’s onshore planning permission was submitted to The Highland Council, underlining the project’s progress.
