Frequently Asked Questions

An offshore wind farm is a set of offshore wind turbines that convert wind into usable energy, mainly electricity. It operates by converting the wind into rotational movement and generating power. By locating at sea, the turbines can be larger than onshore, and often take advantage of more predictable and stronger winds.

The planned operational life of the windfarm and Offshore Transmission works (OFTO) will be 25 years. As the site nears the end of this operational period, a range of studies will take place to assess future viability. At this stage the project will be either decommissioned or a process will begin to extend the life of the assets or repower the site. Repowering and life extension would both require a revised consent approved by the Scottish Government.

NnG will contribute to the local Scottish economy providing new jobs and manufacturing opportunities. The wind turbine generators will be assembled at the Port of Dundee. Eyemouth has been selected as the preferred location for the NnG operations base, where the project will be managed and serviced from over its 25-year life time. More precisely, this activity will create around 50 permanent jobs.
