ScottishPower Renewables’ first fixed-bottom offshore windfarm in Scottish waters has taken an important step forward with the submission of its Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report for the project’s windfarm development area to the Scottish Government.

The Visitor Centre at ScottishPower Renewables’ Whitelee Windfarm is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

At ScottishPower, we have a ready-made option for an alternative to the siting benefits of LMP . . . OpTIC (Optimised Transmission Investment Cost)
