Local people across Aberdeenshire will have the opportunity to get involved and have their say on the proposed MarramWind floating offshore windfarm when the first phase of statutory consultation gets underway later this month.

MarramWind is pleased to have collaborated with 11 other projects in the East and Northeast ScotWind regions to produce a report examining potential regional ornithological compensation measures that could be deployed at scale and contribute to the increased resilience of seabird populations in Scotland.

Primary five pupils from Clerkhill Primary School in Peterhead got the chance to be offshore wind engineers for the day recently thanks to a special STEM education organised by the MarramWind floating offshore windfarm project team.

 The team behind the proposed MarramWind project have thanked people across Aberdeenshire for participating in the first round of statutory consultation for the renewable energy project, which could be one of the first large-scale floating offshore windfarms in the world.
